Football40 set for London launch
Football40 - a new concept labelled as the sport's answer to Twenty20 cricket - will stage its first major tournament on 30 May with the London Legends Cup.
The format has been specifically designed for the legends market, with teams comprising 11 players on each side competing over a 40-minute game and including unlimited substitutions. Former Premier League referees Dermot Gallagher and Steve Dunn are set to officiate at the London Legends Cup, which will be played at West Ham United Football Club's Upton Park ground in London.
Football40 is already planning a number of future events based on the concept, including a 'Masters Home Internationals'; a match between European and South American players and an eight-team World Cup tournament. Glenn Hoddle, technical director of Football40, said: "I have been involved with Football40 since it's inception and have been delighted to help shape a concept that we all believe will bring real opportunities for former players at both international and club level, while at the same time creating events for the fans that will have real excitement and competition."
