About the Manchester United Nike Premier Cup...
Imagine travelling around the world whilst playing footie. It sounds alright doesn't it, but the Manchester United Premier Cup is no kick about. This is where some of the finest U-15s football is played as talented youngsters come up against the best of the best from around the world.
MUPC started out as a regional tournament in 1993 and has grown into one of the largest and best known football events of its kind. Over 900,000 players have taken part, with over 9,000 teams from more than 40 countries competing this year. That's some serious football.
Manchester United and Nike are passionate about the beautiful game so they decided to partner up and get involved with the MUPC in 2003. Since then the Manchester United Premier Cup World Finals have been held in the United States, Manchester and Hong Kong.
In August 2008 the World Finals of the Manchester United Premier Cup will be staged in Manchester where 20 of the best U-15's teams from around the world will compete. http://www.manchesterunitedpremiercup.com/
The Central United squad will depart NZ on 25 July 2008.

Great tournamanet from all accounts. My old man went with the last team to KL as manager (I think it was KL). Great to see them get some TV time.
Its no longer a problem.

Nice piece by the guys at "Code" and Maori Television (even if they got a few names mixed up!) Great to see Glen Osbourne pop up on "Game of Two Halves" the following night (TV One) wearing his Central United scarf he had recieved the previous evening. He gave the youngsters and the Man U Premier Cup another good plug, unprompted and off his own back. A top guy from all acounts who really hit it off with the kids when he attended a recent training session.
