Lincoln City CEO Liam Scully, said: "It’s a great opportunity to get out into the community, and raise money for two of our Non-League neighbours. It promises to be a great family day out in Gainsborough, while also giving our fans the chance to see some new and returning faces in action." Gainsborough Trinity chairman, Richard Kane said: "We are delighted to be hosting this Community Festival of Football. It will be a real privilege to share the afternoon with our neighbours and we’re looking forward to some exciting football. Thank you to Lincoln City for showing great community spirit by supporting us and Lincoln United, practically demonstrating our #inittogether motto – we’re sure it will be a fantastic family event and we hope the people of Gainsborough will come along and discover what a great club they have right here in the centre of their town."

Lincoln United chairman, Rob Bradley said: "This is a great opportunity for Lincoln United to compete against our close Lincolnshire neighbours in what will be a fantastic pre-season tournament. It will be ideal for new Whites manager Steve Housham to pit his newly assembled squad against such illustrious opponents. The day will also be a thoroughly enjoyable spectacle for everyone connected with United just as it will be for fans of Trinity and the Imps. We are delighted to be taking part in this tremendous festival."
