FA CUP FRIDAY AT THE BRIDGE
There will be a famous visitor at Stamford Bridge on Friday as the FA Cup Trophy Tour comes to our west London home.
The Football Association and lead FA Cup sponsor E.ON have joined forces to launch the unique nationwide tour of the FA Cup to showcase the competition's history, heritage and magic ahead of our semi-final clash with Arsenal.
Aimed at children between seven and 11 years old and their families, the Trophy Tour is a fully interactive experience which lasts approximately 30 minutes, leading visitors through a fun and engaging journey where they can relive the most memorable goals and classic Cup Finals from the past 128 years.
There's even a virtual FA Cup Final, where you can follow in Blues legend Roberto Di Matteo's footsteps by scoring an historic goal at Wembley, before lifting aloft the actual FA Cup trophy.
All these magic moments will be caught on film and be available for download from www.facuptrophytour.co.uk
The website also hosts a great FA Cup competition, with monthly prizes to win tickets to an FA Cup semi-final game, as well as a chance to win a place for a child to walk out and accompany the FA Cup onto the pitch in the 2009 Final.
Sir Trevor Brooking, the FA's director of football development, said: 'The FA Cup sponsored by E.ON is a great competition and it's fantastic to know that now, thanks to this new Trophy Tour, thousands of children around the country will be able to learn about its rich history.
'To be able to lift the Cup at Wembley is every child's dream and they'll now be able to get that little bit closer to actually doing it. The FA Cup Trophy Tour really does bring the competition to life.'
Interspersed with interesting energy information, the tour's interactive content will also provide an insight into how the FA Cup has evolved on and off the pitch.
Outside, visitors to the tour can get involved in the action by showing off their skills on the tour's mini football pitch. Those who want some competitive fun can try their hand at 'Power Kick', a football game where the speed of their kick is measured against that of the professionals.
Entry to The FA Cup Trophy Tour at Stamford Bridge on 10th April is free, but places are limited so you will need to pre-register at here to guarantee your place click here.
