Under 13s Girls Cup – 24th October 2019

We are delighted to announce the launch of the 2019 Cardiff City FC Foundation & EFL Utilita Girls Cup in partnership with New Directions Education. 

The one-day tournament taking place on 24th October provides secondary school girls between the ages of 11 and 13 with the opportunity to take part in an exciting, competitive and enjoyable tournament run by the official charity of Cardiff City Football Club, in partnership with New Directions Education.

This much anticipated annual event is a highlight of the sporting academic year for schools across the region. Kelly Storer, Regional Manager for New Directions Education comments we are delighted to be able to once more support this competition. I am personally overwhelmed each year with the quality of talent we see on the pitch, and the real sense of sportsmanship between the competing teams. Female football is making major strides in 2019 and we are proud to support the ambitions of Welsh schools in contributing to this.
