This is an article about a non-notable football tournament, which was little more than a pre-season friendly. The article itself has absolutely zero references. Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 09:50, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Meaningless pre-season friendlies, with some financial input from a sponsor. Matches will not count towards players' stats, trophy will not feature in Boca's lists of honours. Zero enduring importance. Kevin McE (talk) 11:08, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - standard pre-season games that every football team does; being given a fancy name by a sponsor and calling yourself a 'Cup' doesn't mean this is notable. GiantSnowman 13:52, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - as everyone here has already said, this was just a meaningless one-off pre-season tournament of zero importance or notability. Bettia (talk) 10:51, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - A set of meaningless pre-season friendlies is clearly not notable. Sir Sputnik (talk) 13:58, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 11:38, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
