Standard Chartered, Liverpool's Ian Rush announce corporate football tournament, SC Cup

Standard Chartered Bangladesh launched SC Cup in the presence of Liverpool Football Club's (LFC) all-time top scorer, Ian Rush. The bank's SC Cup - a unique five-a-side football tournament - will invite teams from Bangladesh's top corporates to take part in a series of football matches, says a statement.
The tournament will take place in October and will give teams the chance to compete for the opportunity to visit the hallowed grounds of Anfield, home to the Liverpool Football Club, and watch Liverpool in action. This will be the sixth edition of the SC Cup tournament in Bangladesh.
During his first-ever visit to Bangladesh, Ian Rush took the time to meet and mingle with fans. He expressed his excitement about the SC Cup and encouraged all participants to do their best throughout the tournament. Rush also spoke to local media about his illustrious career, today's football scene, and more.
Naser Ezaz Bijoy, Chief Executive Officer, Standard Chartered Bangladesh, said, "It is a privilege for us to have the legendary Ian Rush unveil this year's SC Cup trophy. Being able to host Ian- the man responsible for some of Liverpool's greatest achievements - is a distinct honour."
Over the years, Standard Chartered Bangladesh has hosted a total of five football tournaments. Previous winners of the SC Cup include Grameenphone, Banglatrac, and Robi.
Standard Chartered began sponsoring Liverpool Football Club (LFC) in July of 2010. In the last 13 years, the partnership has gone from strength to strength - as a result of the many things Standard Chartered and LFC have in common.
