Brera Holdings announces ‘FENIX Trophy Final Four’ matches

The FENIX Trophy Tournament has announced its “Final Four” host location and dates. After last year’s exciting final stage played in Milan’s legendary San Siro Stadium setting, the third edition of the tournament, which has expanded to 12 iconic non-professional teams from 10 different countries to convey a new vision of football, will be held from May,10 to 12 in Desenzano del Garda, an idyllic town located on the southern shore of Northern Italy’s beautiful Lake Garda. The ‘Tre Stelle’ stadium will host the semi-finals and finals. Currently only Lewes FC, a community club devoted to the drive for gender equality through the Equality FC project supported by Nike, is certain of its trip to Italy. Also in the hunt is United of Manchester, a supporter-owned and democratically run club famously created by Manchester United fans after that club’s takeover by the Glazer family in May 2005 with the motto “our club, our rules.” The Prague Raptors, very active in supporting projects such as Farenet, HerGameToo, and Football v Homophobia, as well as children-focused charities, is expected to make a run for the finals. London-based Enfield Town, first fan-owned club set up in British football in 2001, is also one step away from qualifying. The two semi-finals will be played on Friday May 10 at 6.30 p.m. and 9.00 p.m. Sunday May 12 will be entirely dedicated to the championship finals. The third v. fourth place final will start at 2.00pm, and the decisive first v. second place final will kick off at 4.30 p.m.
