Definition of Glamour Friendly

What is a Glamour Friendly in the world of football?

Glamour Friendly is an exhibition game between two high profile football teams, usually as a part of offseason training or as a marketing / fund-raising event.

Glamour Friendly could be a match between two national teams (ex. England vs. Brazil), or it could be a match between two big clubs (ex. Barcelona vs. Manchester United).



Glamour Friendly matches attract a wide audience and are usually played in a less-serious manner. More than three substitutions are often allowed per team and the focus is often on scoring more goals rather than tight defending.
