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.

Ancelotti to coach Chelsea next season

by David Wilson

ancelottiCarlo Ancelotti has told Chelsea he is ready to take over from Guus Hiddink. The British paper The Sun reported Thursday that the AC Milan coach has promised Roman Abramovich he will join the club this summer.

Ancelotti was the Blues owner’s first choice to replace Big Phil Scolari but was unwilling to leave Milan during mid-season. However, sources at the Italian club have indicated that an agreement has been reached with Chelsea which will see Ancelotti named the new coach. A contract worth around £5.8million a season over three years has been discussed and should be signed in June.

Real Madrid have courted the 52-year-old but Abramovich’s personal intervention is understood to have helped swing the deal in Chelsea’s favor. The only remaining obstacle is whether Milan will demand compensation for their manager, who has one year of his contract left to run.

Ancelotti insists he has a gentleman’s agreement with Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi that he can leave with their blessing in the summer.

Chelsea Football Ticket News 01 - 08/4/2009

The World Football Challenge will come to the United States this summer, so you’d better be prepared with the right tickets, the right jersey and a few of the basic facts. For Americans, who will be too invested in baseball stats to afford much time for European soccer study, we have arranged a little cheat sheet below. Now you’ll look and sound like a real Premier League hooligan when you use your World Football Challenge tickets.

Club Basics
Chelsea Football Club, otherwise known as Chelsea F.C. or Chelsea, or The Blues, is an English Premier League soccer team based out of West London. Although Chelsea used to be one of the laughing stocks of the Premiership a few decades ago, in the mid to late 1990s the team sprinted to the top of the standings and found a good deal of success, both in their league and in international competition. Nowadays Chelsea is one of the most beloved (and most loathed by their rivals and the jealous types) soccer teams in England. They frequently secure the best and brightest soccer stars from the UK and around the world. In 2005 and 2006 they won the Premier League title.

Jersey Sponsor
Known colloquially as The Blues, Chelsea has a distinct all-blue (save for some white stripes and white socks) uniform. They’ve traditionally worn blue shirts, but they have alternate jerseys that are all-black and all-yellow. This will be hard for American sports fans to get used to, because in the states team colors usually stay mostly the same, although they add more white or gray when the team is home or away. The Europeans must know something about branding and merchandise sales that the Yankees don’t.

Chelsea could probably be fully sponsored by their owner, Roman Abramovich, a Russian oil tycoon and head of Millhouse LLC, reportedly worth somewhere just the other side of $10 billion (with a b), but they instead have a huge Samsung logo on their jersey tops. Samsung is a Korean business famous for many different things, electronics, heavy industry, construction, etc. The brand has a good reputation, and fits well with the club, so nobody should be embarrassed to wear a Chelsea jersey to the stadium come game time.

Star Players
John Terry - A defenseman and captain of the team, Terry is an English National Team veteran with many, many appearances. He’s a favorite for his smart, hard-nosed play and steady hand at the helm.

Frank Lampard - John Terry’s vice-captain, Lampard is an attacking midfielder most of the time. He has played with Chelsea since 2001 and leads the team in goals. He’s also a member of the English National Team.

Michael Ballack - A German National Team veteran, Ballack plays midfield and is one of the most recognizable players in soccer today. He earned a reputation as a good free kick taker while with Bayern Munich before joining Chelsea.

Bottom Line
If you’re looking to root for one of the hottest teams on the planet, you can’t go wrong with Chelsea. StubHub can get you to the stadium to see this fantastic soccer team in action, so buy tickets as soon as you can. Chelsea has a large fan following in the United States, so their games ought to be packed.
