City have now confirmed the news we announced a few weeks
ago...that there will be a 4 way tournament this year (to
celebrate the 120 years of the club) and East Bengal, City's
new twin team from India, will be over to compete.
Original
rumours mentioned Bocca Juniors and Borussia Dortmund as the
other two teams, but it now looks like it may be River Plate
and Borussia Dortmund instead.
There'lll
be two games on Saturday 31st July and then a final and 3rd/
4th place game on Sunday 1st August, both at Filbert Way.
East
Bengal have just won the Championship again for the second
year running, so many congrats from us in Leicester. Messages

to say well done and hi from Leicester. Their Yahoo groups
mailing list is growing daily (see East Bengal Soccer Club
Supporters Club on yahoo groups) and football is getting pretty
big over there. East Bengal can get crowds of 100,000! Let's
hope we get to do a pre-season over there soon!
