Thousands of schoolchildren given a glimpse of life as a Premier League footballer in annual competition

The event in 2019 was held at Molineux Stadium, the home of Wolverhampton Wanderers where 40 primary schools won qualifying competitions to represent each of the 20 Premier League clubs. This season the tournament will take place in May 2020 at a Premier League stadium.  

The Under-11 mixed and Under-11 girls teams who end up representing Manchester United wear club kit, use the same dressing rooms that the professionals use on matchday, walk down the tunnel to the Premier League anthem and are refereed by Premier League match officials.

The six-a-side tournament is one of the competition elements of the PL Primary Stars programme, which inspires children in more than 15,000 primary schools in England and Wales.
