Glasgow Celtic will meet Portugal’s Sporting Lisbon on July 21 at Boston’s Historic Fenway Park. This will be the 19th soccer match played at Fenway and the first since 1968. Buy Celtic v Sporting Lisbon Tickets.
“During its 98-year history, Fenway Park has been privileged to witness some of the best in athletic competition, not only in baseball, but in football, boxing and most recently in hockey with the 2010 NHL Winter Classic. This match is a tremendous opportunity to highlight some of the top talent in the soccer world, and we want to thank Celtic F.C. and Sporting C.P. for bringing the sport here for the first time in over 40 years,” said Sam Kennedy, EVP/COO of the Boston Red Sox and President of Fenway Sports Group. “As the world celebrates football with the 2010 World Cup, the Fenway Football Challenge will provide New Englanders the opportunity to witness two international clubs – each with a rich heritage and a passionate regional fan base.”
Paulo Costinha, Sporting Lisbon Football Director said:
“It’s an honour to be invited to such a prestigious match. Sporting is always proud to travel abroad to represent this Portuguese centenary institution, particularly against an opponent with a rich history in football, such as Celtic F.C. in Glasgow. We thank the Mayor of Boston, the Boston Red Sox and Fenway Sports Group for this invitation.”
From the interest that we have seen, this match will be sold out very quickly. Buy Celtic v Sporting Lisbon Tickets.
