Unity Cup: Brentford’s Gtech Stadium to Host Matches
The venue for the 2025 Unity Cup has been confirmed, with the GTech Stadium in West London set to host the matches.
The Unity Cup, which will feature Ghana, Nigeria, and Caribbean rivals Jamaica and Trinidad & Tobago, will be held in London in May.
The GTech Stadium, home to Brentford in the English Premier League, will host the two semi-finals on May 27 and 28, before the final on May 31. The tournament, branded as
“The Best in the West – The Afro Classico Contest,” will feature two high-stakes semi-finals, setting up fierce regional rivalries.
On Tuesday, May 27, the Caribbean derby will see Trinidad & Tobago take on Jamaica in their first-ever meeting on UK soil. And on May 28, West African giants Nigeria and Ghana will renew their historic rivalry in a match that promises fireworks.
The competition will conclude on Saturday, May 31, with a double-header—one game to decide third place, followed by the grand final to determine the Unity Cup 2025 champions.
Speaking ahead of the tournament, Rotimi Pedro, CEO of AfroSport, expressed his excitement about reviving the event:
“The Unity Cup is back! It has been a long road to revive this important community event, and we are happy that fans of African and Caribbean football will get to see international football of the highest caliber at The Unity Cup 2025.”
AfroSport Co-Director Andy Howes emphasized the cultural and commercial significance of the tournament, saying:
“This event is not only important in terms of its cultural significance but also reflects the growing commercial importance of African and Caribbean football, as well as the expanding black football fanbase in England.”
The Unity Cup promises to be an exciting and meaningful event, showcasing the best of African and Caribbean football.
