I am delighted to see our games broadcast on Recast this year. It is great exposure for the players and an opportunity for them to showcase their talents to the wider football community. It also helps raise the profile and prestige of the Centenary Shield, an historic and prestigious home nations competition. It is also great to see more coverage of schools’ football and shows a real investment back in the game at this level.The action kicks off on Thursday 30th March when Northern Ireland take on their rivals Republic of Ireland in an eagerly anticipated clash in The hummel Centenary Shield. On Friday all eyes turn to Glasgow as Scotland take on England in the second Centenary Shield match of the week. At noon (GMT) on Saturday Inter Milan Under 19s take on Sassuolo in round 25 of the Primavera Championship and at 9am (GMT) on Sunday Inter Milan U17s take on Cagliari in round 24 of the Italian U17 Championship. Rounding off the weekend of youth football competitions, Recast fans will be able to tune into the Dubai based Mina Cup 2023 tournament which kicks off on Saturday afternoon. Running right up until Monday afternoon the top youth teams from around the world including Yokohama FC, Barcelona, Manchester City and New York Red Bulls, will battle it out to win the prestigious title. Having the games covered is great for the players, as the film crew add to the occasion at the games. It has also allowed family and friends who could not attend matches to see the players play on the international stage which for many adds to the pride of playing for their country. From a career point of view it gives players an opportunity to perform to a wider audience, which can undoubtedly put them on a platform to impress clubs & coaches beyond their regular audience.
