In total there will be three male age groups and two female age groups and thousands of young people, family members and football fans will descend upon Northern Ireland booking out hotels, and guest houses, with young players having dreams of lifting the top prize in their respective age groups.
The male section will consist of three age groups – U13, U14, and U16 and the female competition will have two sections, under 14 and under 16.
Chairman Victor Leonard said: “A major review was undertaken after this year’s tournament and we believe that what is planned for next year will give many young people the opportunity to participate in one of Europe’s elite youth football tournaments.
“2022 was a very challenging year but it proved to be one of our best years yet with increased number of teams and increased numbers of spectators attending the games. The new girls section proved to be particularly successful and we plan to build on what was an excellent addition to the event by adding a new age group.
“The tournament provided a massive boost to the local economy with many accommodation providers fully booked for the duration of the event. Local hospitality and retail businesses also benefited from the return of the Tournament, the first since 2019.”
The 2023 SuperCupNI kicks off on Sunday, July 23 with the traditional Welcoming Ceremony in Coleraine, with the Finals Day on Friday, July 28 when venues across the Causeway Coast & Glens, Mid and East Antrim and Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council areas will play host to the Finals of the various competitions in the tournament.
