Translink Cup
The Translink Cup, also known as the Roar Against Racism Trophy, is an Australian association football invitational trophy contested in an annual charity friendly match hosted by Brisbane Roar of the Hyundai A-League. It is held at Suncorp Stadium, and is often used as a pre-season match for both teams to warm them up for the regular season. The friendly also serves to promote the decline of racism on the football pitch. All proceeds from the match go to the anti-racism charity Kick It Out; a donation is also made by TransLink, who sponsor and have naming rights to the cup.
==Competition==
The competition was little known for the first 2 years of format with Queensland Roar booking under-rated overseas teams such as Supersport United with the game pulling only just over 12,000 fans into Suncorp Stadium. The competition got major media publicity in 2009 when talk of English Premier League clubs Fulham or Everton would tour to Brisbane to play against Queensland Roar in the Translink Cup. But original plans for Queensland to play Fulham were scrapped after the team went into a financial crisis. The 2009 version was then locked in with Scottish Premier League club Celtic for 12 July.〔http://www.foxsports.com.au/story/0,8659,25407071-5000940,00.html〕 The Game was a huge success after new Celtic Manager Tony Mowbray decided to use the game as a warm-up for UEFA Champions League qualifiers and bring many of his first team squad to Brisbane, this included Polish international goalkeeper Artur Boruc, former Barcelona player Marc Crosas, former Manchester City star and Greek international striker Georgios Samaras, Andreas Hinkel who has been capped by Germany 19 times, Scottish international Shaun Maloney and the team was captained by Australian Star Scott McDonald. Brisbane were eventually overpowered by the Scottish giants 3-0 with New Zealand International Chris Killen picking up the Man of the Match award after scoring a double in quick succession. The match was also notable as 3 Brisbane Roar players (Craig Moore, Charlie Miller and Bob Malcolm) had previously played for Rangers for a combined total of 483 appearances. Over 31,000 people from around the globe turned up to the match, with many of the 31,000 Celtic supporters.
