Tickets are still available for the Ron Gordon Football Challenge which will be taking place on Saturday 22 June at Hibernian Training Centre.
Hibs fans will be coming together to play in the non-stop 11-a-side football match to honour late Chairman, Ronald J. Gordon.
The 15-hour football marathon will kick-off at 7am and finish at 10pm, with over 400 players participating and raising funds for the Community Meals programme, which is currently being delivered from Hibernian Supporters Club at Sunnyside.
The Hibernian Community Foundation currently serve over 1000 free meals each month thanks to our small team of volunteers, and they are looking to raise additional funds through this inclusive event.
There will be various activities that will be available to participate in throughout the day, with food and drink on offer for attendees as well.
Here’s what you can expect on the day:
Elite Playing Experience: Play football at the state-of-the-art Hibernian Training Centre as the Green and White team play against each other for 15 hours straight!
Meet Hibs Legends: Interact with both current and former players from the Men’s and Women’s First Teams.
Football Challenges: Thanks to Pitch Parade, we have football challenges on site! You can test your shot power and accuracy with the ‘Speed Test Challenge’ and the ‘Football Dartboard,’ or test your tekkers in the ‘Panna Cage’ and ‘Teqball Table.’
Enjoy a Social Day Out: A perfect day to play with friends, family, and fellow supporters in a fun-filled environment as we raise funds and honour Ron Gordon.
Tickets are available via the club’s website.
