Steven, can you tell the readers a little bit about you and your role in ClassForKids?

Sure! As the Events and Production Manager at ClassForKids, I oversee our event attendance, organise our own events, and manage the production studio. This role provides me with a comprehensive understanding of what it takes to make events successful, ensuring that our brand gains maximum visibility and engagement.

What is the Blackpool Cup?

The Blackpool Cup was first run in 1994 In Blackpool in England. It’s a football tournament for youth football clubs and academies that sees over 400 teams from all over the world compete for the coveted Blackpool Cup Trophy. The tournament provides an opportunity for young athletes to showcase their talents, develop their skills, and enjoy a unique cultural exchange. It provides young athletes with a platform to compete at a high level, learn from their peers, and gain invaluable experience. The tournament also fosters a sense of community among participants, encouraging teamwork, discipline, and sportsmanship. Since starting out, the tournament has seen steady growth in popularity which has made it one of the premier youth football events in Europe.
