Gtech Community Stadium to host the Unity Cup 2025  | OneFootball

Brentford’s Gtech Community Stadium will host the return of the Unity Cup in May 2025.

The Unity Cup is an Afro-Caribbean international football tournament which was last held in 2004.

The competition, featuring the Ghana, Jamaica, Nigeria, and Trinidad and Tobago national teams, will make its comeback after a 21-year hiatus with two semi-finals and a final to be played at the Bees' home ground.

The first semi-final kicks off on Tuesday 27 May, with Trinidad and Tobago taking on Jamaica.

Brentford centre-back Ethan Pinnock could feature for the latter in the clash of the two Caribbean nations, while former Manchester United striker Dwight Yorke will be in the Trinidad and Tobago dugout as head coach of the country he played 72 times for.

On Wednesday 28 May, two-time Unity Cup winners Nigeria face Ghana.

The four teams will play again on Saturday 31 May in a double-header at the Gtech. There will be a game to decide third place, followed by the final to determine the winner of the Unity Cup 2025.

Brentford club ambassador and former Jamaica international Marcus Gayle said: “We are excited for the return of the Unity Cup and so proud to host the tournament at Gtech Community Stadium.

"This tournament will not only bring together elite footballing talent from Africa and the Caribbean but also celebrate the deep cultural and sporting connections between these nations.

“This is a great opportunity for the world to see the thriving talent of these players. We look forward to the entertainment the Unity Cup brings and seeing the tournament make its mark once again.”

Andy Howes, co-director of AfroSport, added: “The Unity Cup is a tournament that really does envoke the often-used phrase of an event that goes ‘beyond sport’.

"But with the array of elite stars, and profile of the teams involved, this event is not only important in terms of its cultural significance but also is a reflection of the growing commercial importance of African and Caribbean football as well as the growing demographic of Black football fans within English football.”

Tickets go on sale on Tuesday 15 April at 5pm BST.
