A full house will be in attendance for the Liam Miller Tribute at Páirc Uí Chaoimh on the 25th of September.
The organisers have confirmed that event is now a complete sell out and there will be a full house of 45,000 on hand for the occasion to commemorate his life and times.
Michael O’Flynn, Chairman of the Organising Committee, said, “We are absolutely thrilled that so many people are supporting this wonderful event in Páirc Uí Chaoimh. We would like to thank everyone again for their fabulous support. It’s a ringing endorsement of the GAA’s decision to donate the use of their stadium and we thank them wholeheartedly.
Great news that the #LiamMiller benefit game has sold out.. Thank you to everyone who bought tickets. See you in @PaircUiCha0imh Sept 25th

“This will be a unique sporting occasion in Cork, not only because of the calibre of the soccer stars who will be taking part, but also because it will feature both soccer and GAA sports at the same time. It will be a fantastic tribute to Liam Miller who was one of Cork’s sporting heroes and a great celebration of sport in Cork.”
Proceeds from the Liam Miller Tribute Match will be used to help Liam’s wife Clare and their three children rebuild their lives, with Marymount Hospice among the charities also benefiting from the day.
The game will feature a team of Manchester United legends taking on a combined Republic of Ireland and Celtic legends XI, the teams are made of the late Ireland midfielder's former clubs as well as former international team-mates.
