Masters Football Makes Triumphant Return To Aberdeen To Stage The Home Nations
Just as the world prepares to put football centre stage and support their home nation in the FIFA World Cup, Masters Football has announced its return to Aberdeen’s P&J Live on Wednesday 11th November 2026. This year, four six-a-side football teams – Scotland, England, All Ireland and Wales - will compete to take home the trophy and be crowned winner of the Home Nations indoor tournament.
Seeing Scotland come back onto the world stage has increased the appetite of football fans to follow their national team and this heightened interest is reflected on the demands of Masters Football to feature the four home nations face off in competition action.
Masters Football, which was formed in 2000 and became a fixture on our screens where ex footballers could regroup, pull on their team colours and compete once again. Some 15 arenas have hosted the tournament over the past 13 years, with more than 1,500 ex-professional footballers playing in The Masters series since its inception.
Rob Wicks, Managing Director at P&J Live, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Masters Football back to Aberdeen for what promises to be a fantastic night of football and entertainment. The Home Nations format adds an exciting new dimension to the tournament in Aberdeen, and we know supporters across the north-east and beyond will relish the chance to see some of the game’s biggest names back on the pitch representing their countries once again.
“Events like this create a brilliant atmosphere inside P&J Live and continue to showcase the venue as one of Scotland’s leading destinations for live sport and entertainment.”
Fans can expect an action-packed evening featuring fast-paced matches, iconic footballing rivalries and a host of legendary names from across the Home Nations. Full team line-ups will be announced in the coming months, with former international stars and fan favourites set to take part.
The tournament marks Masters Football’s long-awaited return to Aberdeen after previous sell-out events in the city and is expected to attract football fans of all ages eager to relive classic rivalries and celebrate the spirit of the beautiful game.
Steve Black, Managing Director at Masters Football said: “The Home Nations tournament is something we’ve wanted to bring to fans for a long time. There is incredible passion and rivalry between these nations and we’re excited to bring that energy to Aberdeen in what will be an unforgettable evening.
“Masters Football has always been about nostalgia, competition and entertainment, and this new format captures all of that. Supporters can expect plenty of goals, big personalities and a real sense of occasion.”
The coveted Legends Lunch with full corporate hospitality pre-tournament, including a three-course meal, match tickets and premium bar access will offer fans the chance to get up close to players and take part in a live auction to win a range of prizes.
