2008 Milk Cup Preview

Since 1983 the Milk Cup has been held annually in Northern Ireland. It is a youth football tournament that has national and club sides. There are three different sections: Elite, Premier, and Junior. The Elite section features just U-19 national teams. Premier and Junior feature club sides but are different ages (U-17 and U-15 respectively). The Elite competition started in 1995. Turkey and Paraguay have won it the most (3 times). Like the Toulon Tournament, it is not under the supervision of a major football governing body such as UEFA or FIFA. This is Belgium’s first Milk Cup appearance. Belgium’s early fixtures:
July 28th: Belgium vs. Israel (Riada Stadium, Ballymoney)
July 30th: N.Ireland vs. Belgium (Showgrounds, Ballymena)
