Nicola McGeady of Ladbrokes speaking about this years tournament said:

The Players Cup provides an amazing opportunity for football players of all levels to play together and showcase their skill on a national scale.

We were blown away by the talent on show in 2023 and look forward to giving teams across the UK and Ireland a taste of the 'professional footballer' experience this spring and summer. With Slough Scorpionz returning for a second year, let’s see who can try and steal their crown!”
