Farrans is proud to support Shankill Junior Football Club as they prepare for the kick off of SuperCupNI this week in Coleraine.

Now in its 42nd year, the globally renowned Budget Energy SuperCupNI is taking place from Sunday 27th July to Friday 1st August 2025, welcoming 62 of the world’s most prestigious Boys’ and Girls’ academies alongside elite teams from Northern Ireland and Ireland.

We invited local team Shankill Junior FC players Devyn Ritchie and Riley Black down to our Belfast headquarters for a kick-about with our Managing Director Dominic Lavery as they warmed up for group matches against Coleraine, IDA Bermuda and Blackburn Rovers.

English Premier League giants Manchester United, West Ham, Spurs and Brighton & Hove Albion will all be taking part in the tournament as part of another world-class summer of international youth football.

Reigning champions Brighton & Hove Albion begin their title defence in Group A that includes Country Armagh, the team they beat in a dramatic penalty shootout win the 2024 Final, alongside Intercontinental FA and County Down.

Deputy Mayor of Causeway Coast and Glens, Councillor Tanya Stirling said: “The Budget Energy SuperCupNI is a flagship event for the Borough that brings world-class youth football to Causeway Coast and Glens while delivering significant economic and community benefits.

“The calibre of teams revealed is fantastic and we look forward to welcoming players, coaches, supporters and international visitors to our spectacular coastline for what promises to be a thrilling and unforgettable week of football.”
