Every year 2,500,000,000 people watch Manchester United play. More than1,900,000 people experience the incredible atmosphere inside the Theatre of Dreams

But less than 500 people actually get the chance to play on the famous pitch. Now a team from Bahrain will have the chance to follow in the footsteps of some of the world's best footballers in the Budweiser Cup.

More than 40 teams from around the world are being invited to take part in the 6v6 Football Tournament to be held at home of Manchester United - Old Trafford.

Thousands of amateur footballers from around the world will compete for this once-in-a-lifetime experience. One team from each country will represent their nation at Old Trafford.

The qualifying tournament to find Bahrain's representatives will take place on April 18 at 9am at Bahrain Rugby Club and is open to 32 teams. Each team will need a squad of eight players and one manager. The format will see eight groups of four teams play each other in games of 20-minutes duration, with the top team from each group progressing to the knockout stages.

The winning team of the competition will then go forward to represent Bahrain on an all-expenses paid trip to Manchester for the finals in early May. The trip will last for four days and three nights.

Interested teams should call BMMI on 17579035 or apply online to donna@bmmi.com.bh before April 6.
