A memorable FA Cup experience for our Premier League Kicks participants

Saturday 14th February was a truly special day for our Premier League Kicks participants, as we celebrated our Fourth Round FA Cup fixture against Burnley.

Seven of our lucky participants were invited to represent us in a friendly match against Burnley’s Premier League Kicks players at a venue near the stadium. It was an amazing opportunity to play together, showcase their talents, and enjoy the excitement of being part of a special occasion.

After the friendly, participants headed over to the stadium to watch Mansfield Town take on Burnley in the FA Cup Fourth Round. The atmosphere was electric, and the day was made even more memorable as the Stags secured a famous victory, progressing to the Fifth Round of the competition.

From playing near the stadium to cheering from the stands, it was a truly inspiring day that highlighted the power of football to create unforgettable experiences for young people.

We are incredibly proud of all the participants who represented the programme so brilliantly and made the most of this amazing opportunity.
