He said: “We are of course celebrating our 40th anniversary this year and we believe that the line up in the Junior and Premier section is one of the strongest in recent years. We were absolutely delighted to secure the participation of the likes of Manchester United, Rangers, Brighton and Hove Albion, West Ham United and Newcastle United.
“The tournament also provides our local sides with an opportunity to test themselves against some of the very best and the draw saw a number of mouth-watering fixtures for our County sides. Over the last number of weeks we have been keeping in touch with all of the teams from across the world coming to the tournament and they are all incredibly excited to come to Northern Ireland for what promises to be a football extravaganza.
“The matches will take place across 14 venues across three council areas and after record breaking crowds in 2022, we are anticipating bumper crowds at each of the venues once again this summer.”
