TOP-DRAWER LINE-UP FOR PORT OF ROTTERDAM TOURNAMENT 2007

Feyenoord will host a trio of highly attractive clubs in the Port of Rotterdam Tournament 2007, including two recent Champions League winners. All participating clubs are from port cities. Liverpool, Shanghai Shenhua FC and FC Porto have agreed to take part in the preseason event between Friday 3 and Sunday 5 August at De Kuip. Tickets will go on sale in May.

Feyenoord start proceedings on 3 August with a game against FC Porto, while the Rotterdammers’ match-up against Liverpool is scheduled two days later. The quality of the line-up is undisputable. The two European clubs are regulars in UEFA’s competitions. Liverpool won the Champions League as recently as 2005, taking the trophy a year after FC Porto won the tournament under the steersmanship of José Mourinho. Shanghai Shenhua FC were runners-up in Chinese Super League in both 2005 and 2006.
