Newcastle United confirm stunning Carabao Cup trophy presentation plans

Newcastle United supporters will get to see the team lift the Carabao Cup trophy on Saturday 29 March with the club planning a free open-air event on the Town Moor. 32,000 fans in Wembley were given the chance to watch Bruno Guimaraes, Kieran Trippier and Jamaal Lascelles lift the Carabao Cup high into the London sky on Sunday evening - with thousands of others celebrating around the world.

However, with international commitments immediately following Sunday’s final, a full celebration of their triumph had to be delayed until all of Eddie Howe’s squad were back in the north east. The trophy will be presented by CEO Darren Eales and Bob Moncur to those in attendance at St James’ Park during Sunday’s Tyne-Wear derby clash between Newcastle United and Sunderland Women on Sunday, with the club revealing on Friday morning their plans for a large-scale supporter event.
