All tickets for Liam Miller tribute now sold out

THE organisers of the Liam Miller Tribute Match are delighted to announce that the event is now completely sold out and there will be a full house of 45,000 in Páirc Uí Chaoimh on 25 September.

The remaining tickets went on sale yesterday morning and have been snapped up already.

Michael O’Flynn, Chairman of the Organising Committee, said, “We are absolutely thrilled that so many people are supporting this wonderful event in Páirc Uí Chaoimh. We would like to thank everyone again for their fabulous support. 

"It’s a ringing endorsement of the GAA’s decision to donate the use of their stadium and we thank them wholeheartedly. This will be a unique sporting occasion in Cork, not only because of the calibre of the soccer stars who will be taking part, but also because it will feature both soccer and GAA sports at the same time. It will be a fantastic tribute to Liam Miller who was one of Cork’s sporting heroes and a great celebration of sport in Cork.” 

The full squads for the Liam Miller Tribute Match, which is taking place at Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Tuesday, September 25th, were announced last week. 

The once-off game between legends from Manchester United and a combined Republic of Ireland-Glasgow Celtic selection will take to the field in support of the late Liam Miller, who passed away earlier this year at 36, having played for all of these teams during his illustrious playing career.

Proceeds from the Liam Miller Tribute Match will be used to help Liam’s wife Clare and their three children rebuild their lives, with Marymount Hospice among the charities also benefiting from the day.
