Port Vale v Stoke City

World Cup Kick it out Tournament.

THE WORLD CUP is coming to the Potteries as the two region's top clubs Port Vale and Stoke City stage a five-a-side tournament based on this summer's festival of football in Brazil and you can take part!

On Tuesday 29th April Port Vale and Stoke City will take one first team player to act of representative for the Club in the draw. 

Chris Birchall will be in attendance and alongside the Stoke City player will be making the draw for the competition, each team will be allocated a country to represent. Thirty-two teams representing all the nations taking part in the real thing in South America will battle it out for the honour of lifting the first Kicks World Cup trophy.

In the process they will raise valuable funds which will be split between Port Vale's two chosen charities Gingerbread, who provide expert advice, practical support and campaign for single parents, and Homestart, who help families with young children deal with whatever life throws at them and the Stoke City Community Trust, which delivers a range of activities and support programmes to raise the hopes and aspiration of people of all ages, abilities and social backgrounds in the city of Stoke and North Staffordshire.

The group stages will take place at the Powerleague in Stoke, on Saturday 14th June and Goals Soccer Centre on Sunday 15th June, with the final stages to be held on Saturday 28th June at the Northwood Stadium.
