The Wembley Cup is shaping up to be a terrific pre-season tournament. The four teams in the inaugural Wembley Cup this summer are Celtic, Egyptian Champions Al Ahly, Spurs and FC Barcelona.
Celtic will open up against Al Ahly on Friday, July 24, before facing Spurs on Sunday two days later at Wembley.
“I am delighted that we will be participating in the inaugural Wembley Cup this summer,” said Parkhead boss Gordon Strachan. We are looking forward to playing Spurs in London and it will be a privilege to be the first Scottish club side to ever play at Wembley. I am sure the tournament will provide a great spectacle for fans coming to the event.”
Spurs will open against Champions League finalist Barcelona on July 24 and Harry Redknapp is already excited about the game:
“It’s an honour to be part of the first Wembley Cup which is set to be a fantastic occasion at one of the greatest stadiums in the world. Facing both Barcelona and Celtic at Wembley is a terrific prospect for everyone at the club and for our fans. These will be important matches for the squad in our preparation for the new season against two of the biggest names in world club football.”
