SOLIHULL Moors will host Birmingham City in the fifth installment of the annual Arthur Cup later this month.
Played in memory of Arthur Labinjo-Hughes, a young Birmingham City supporter who tragically passed away in June 2020 at the age of six, the game has become an annual fixture between the two clubs.
Blues head to Damson Park on Wednesday, July 15 with kick-off at 7.45pm.
Proceeds from the game will support the NSPCC and Solihull Moors Foundation for the preventative work they do with at-risk children in Birmingham.
Solihull Moors chairman, Darryl Eales, said: “It is always a privilege to host this wonderful fixture.
“It demonstrates the real power of football to bring communities together and we hope as many people will attend this game.
“I’d like to thank BCFC, and in particular, Jeremy and Rich Carpenter, for their contribution in making this game a real celebration for Arthur and raising funds for the NSPCC and the Moors Foundation.
“There will be live music, world cup football and pyrotechnics – please bring your friends and family and support a great occasion.”
Birmingham City’s chief executive officer, Jeremy Dale added: “We are proud to confirm the return of the Arthur Cup for its fifth year.
“It is a vital moment for both clubs to come together to remember a special little boy.
“As a club, we remain committed to honouring Arthur’s memory. We know that it matters deeply to our fans and it matters to our players and staff. It is a core part of who we are.
“We look forward to joining Solihull Moors once again to celebrate Arthur’s life and support the incredible charitable work done in his name.”
