The opportunity
A Tournament With an Incredible Footballing History
The Sussex Schools County Representative Team has been given an incredible opportunity to compete at the SuperCupNI, one of the best-known international youth football tournaments.
Previous players to have participated include Ryan Giggs, Sergio Busquets, Joe Cole, Mats Hummels, Jermain Defoe and Wayne Rooney, alongside many others who later went on to professional and international careers.
For our Sussex players, this is about much more than simply playing another football match.
It is the opportunity to experience international competition, represent their county, test themselves against outstanding young footballers and make memories that could stay with them for the rest of their lives.
