The Football League Centenary Tournament (also known as the Mercantile Credit Football Festival) was a friendly tournament held from 16 to 17 April 1988 at Wembley Stadium to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Football League. Despite the hopes of the Football League, the attendances of 41,500 on the first day and 17,000 for the finals meant there was plenty of open spaces to be found around Wembley. The attendance situation was not helped by leading London clubs such as Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United, and Chelsea all not appearing in the tournament.

| - The Football League Centenary Tournament (also known as the Mercantile Credit Football Festival) was a friendly tournament held from 16 to 17 April 1988 at Wembley Stadium to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Football League. Despite the hopes of the Football League, the attendances of 41,500 on the first day and 17,000 for the finals meant there was plenty of open spaces to be found around Wembley. The attendance situation was not helped by leading London clubs such as Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United, and Chelsea all not appearing in the tournament. The tournament was won by First Division Nottingham Forest, who beat Sheffield Wednesday in the final on penalties. Their success was achieved despite manager Brian Clough not attending the Saturday. Arguably the biggest success story was Division Four side Tranmere Rovers, who a year earlier had almost been relegated out of the Football League. They defeated top-flight sides Wimbledon and Newcastle United, before taking Forest to a penalty shoot-out in the semi-finals. (en)

Venne disputato nei giorni 16 e 17 aprile 1988 a Londra, nello stadio di Wembley. Malgrado le aspettative degli organizzatori, la risposta del pubblico fu deludente: solo 41.500 spettatori nel primo giorno e 17.000 per le finali. Questo era comunque in parte dovuto all'assenza di club londinesi dal torneo. (it)

Tävlingen vanns av Nottingham Forest, som slog Sheffield Wednesday i finalen på straffar. De vann trots att deras manager Brian Clough inte var med under tävlingen. Annars så stod Division Fyra-klubben Tranmere Rovers för den största överraskningen. Ett år tidigare var de nära att ramla ur The Football League och nu vann de över topplag som Wimbledon och Newcastle United, innan de förlorade på straffar i semifinalen mot Nottingham Forest. De kommande åren kom de att spela flera matcher på Wembley. (sv)
