MIFA are delighted to announce that Ellan Vannin have been invited to play Cliftonville FC of the Northern Ireland Football League Premiership on Saturday 23rd July at the Solitude Stadium, Belfast with a 3PM Kick Off. The teams will be competing for the Celtic Challenge Cup.
It is hoped that supporters from the Island will travel to the match and details of travel and accommodation packages will be released shortly. It is also intended to use this match to provide networking opportunities for local businesses.
Cliftonville FC have qualified for the early rounds of the Europa League and will prove to be a very stern test for Ellan Vannin.
Last week JP caught up with the team at a training session as they prepare for Europeada which is taking place in Italy this summer and discussed the changes over tha last year.
