Charity Football event to take place in Wexford

CIE Promotions has announced its forthcoming event in Enniscorthy, Wexford…

Their founder, Mick Abidoye, who has his roots in Enniscorthy, is thrilled to bring their award-winning entertainment platform to his hometown.

They are cordially inviting you to join them for a charity football tournament at the Shamrock Rovers pitch on the 6th of July at 2 PM. The event is organised in support of St. Vincent de Paul in Enniscorthy.

Speaking to Wexford Weekly, Mick said:

“This event promises not only to raise funds for a noble cause but also to deliver top-tier entertainment. Celebrated individuals will be showcasing their talents in the football tournament to support St. Vincent de Paul.”

The event was originally meant host a roster of high-profile personalities, including Festy Ebosele, an Irish international footballer who hails from Enniscorthy. Ebosele now plays his professional football with Serie A side, Udinese. He made his Senior Republic of Ireland debut against France last September under Stephen Kenny’s stewardship.

Unfortunately, Festy will not be participating in the charity football match anymore. The organisers received this news on Wednesday July 3rd. His new manager and management require the Udinese team to return for pre-season earlier, so Festy will be traveling back to Italy on Thursday.

Additionally, they will be raffling off a signed jersey from Festy at the White Pub House at 7 PM after the tournament.

Others that will be participating will include Bailey333, an Irish rapper celebrated for his performance at Longitude, Darragh, a prominent Irish TikToker, Craig Cooney, a multifaceted Irish rapper and actor, and Leah Flynn, a renowned model and Pretty Little Things ambassador, among others.

The event is sponsored by Quirky Cuts Wexford Barber Shop in Wexford.

Ticket cost €5 only, with proceeds going to charity. It’s event not-to-be-missed. Tickets are now available on Eventbrite. Secure your spot at the earliest to witness an unforgettable blend of sports and entertainment for a worthy cause.
