Everything you need to know ahead of the tournament

Three days of exciting, elite level youth football are upon us with the Burnley FC X Dude Perfect International Youth Cup starting tomorrow!

The Burnley Training Centre has been transformed ahead of the occasion, with the two pitches adjacent to the Arthur Bellamy Media Suite ready to host 16 teams from across the globe.

With AC Milan and Juventus travelling from Italy, Valencia and Benfica joining us from the continent and the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool also in attendance it’s sure to be a fantastic weekend.

Without further ado, here’s our guide to the tournament that should give you everything you need…

TOURNAMENT FORMAT

The 16 teams are split into four groups of four, with the top two teams from each group progressing to the cup bracket and the bottom two from each forming the plate bracket.

All games are 50 minutes long (two 25-minute halves) and each team will have nine players born in 2012 or younger on the pitch at any given time.

Cup and Plate winners will be crowned, with each tournament also having a third and fourth place play-off.

In total, there will be 48 matches across the three days.
