Bottled water brand Wenlock Spring has agreed a deal to sponsor Star Sixes, a new competition designed to showcase football legends.

Wenlock Spring will serve as an official partner and the official water supplier of the tournament, which makes its debut from July 13-16 at The O2 in London.

The six-a-side tournament will feature stars such as former England captain Steven Gerrard (pictured), Brazilian Fifa World Cup winner Rivaldo and Italian legend Alessandro Del Piero.

Matthew Orme, director of Wenlock Spring, said: “This is a fantastic opportunity to support a great family sporting event. The players defined a generation, and football fans will enjoy seeing some of their heroes play in their national colours once more. Wenlock Spring is proud to be a part of such a unique event, which will highlight the importance of water as the best form of hydration.”
