Peter's Memorial Match | On Sale Now

We are extremely happy to announce that supporters are now able to purchase tickets for the Peter Whittingham Memorial Match, to be played at Cardiff City Stadium on November 30th.

The game will formally mark the launch of the PW7 Foundation, established in Peter’s memory.

Cardiff City’s first team squad will host Aston Villa in a 7.00pm kick-off. The game will be played during the World Cup close-down period as the Bluebirds and Unai Emery's Villains prepare for their respective league restarts in December with this competitive warm-up game.

Finally, we have the opportunity to come together as a Football Club and celebrate the life of one of our greatest ever players, taken too soon from his young family.

Speaking this morning, Bluebirds Executive Director & CEO, Ken Choo, said: “I am so happy that our fans now have the opportunity of securing their tickets for this fixture and can begin to look forward to November.

“It will undoubtedly be a very special and emotional day for us all. God Bless dear Peter.”

On behalf of Peter’s family, his brother, James Whittingham said: “Following the untimely passing of Peter we, as his family, wanted to make sure that there was a legacy, in his name, that he would have been proud of. Not only to honour him, what he achieved and who he was, but also to provide his sons with a tangible legacy of their late father.

“We have selected three charities to support which were important to Peter in his lifetime, and his family in his passing. We hope through PW7 to create something that would have made Peter proud and that will live on in his name.

“The PW7 Foundation will formally launch with the Memorial Match. The Bluebirds will play Peter’s first professional side, Aston Villa, and all proceeds will go to the PW7 Foundation. We are hugely grateful to Cardiff City for their support and generosity of time, expertise, network, and services to get this match off the ground, and to Aston Villa for accepting the match. We could not have asked for a more befitting opponent to launch the PW7 Foundation.”

All proceeds from this game will go to the PW7 Foundation, whose beneficiaries include Cardiff City FC Foundation and Winston’s Wish, and will help to fund a sports bursary for disadvantaged children at Peter’s old school.
