PartyPoker.com’s Sports Stars Challenge has rounded up some of the biggest sporting icons from across the globe and given them their biggest challenge yet; to prove they’ve got what it takes to compete in a televised poker tournament.

And you could be joining them to play for a share of the huge $84,000 prize pool.

For the first time ever we’re giving you the chance to be a part of Sports Stars Challenge and win a place on one of the seven teams containing legends from football, rugby, boxing, motor sport, darts and golf.

Here are some of the big sporting names confirmed to take part in our high-octane live event

  • Frank Lebœuf
  • Giancarlo Fisichella
  • Phil Taylor
  • Ronald de Boer
  • Sven Ottke
  • Graeme McDowell
  • Andy Goode
  • Jan Mølby

Plus more to follow every week!

Two places per team will be up for grabs over the next seven weeks via our online freeroll qualifiers. Every day during weeks one to six (30th March to 10th May) we will have two freeroll qualifiers for a particular team – for example, Monday is football, Tuesday is rugby. The top 10 finishers in each freeroll will win their way to that sport’s final in week seven (11th to 17th May).

In each final the two top players will win a Sports Stars Challenge package, attend the event and join their sporting heroes to soak up the tournament atmosphere.

This is not only your chance to mix with some huge sporting celebrities but also an opportunity to showcase your own poker skills in a major TV show that will be aired all over the world.

Show these celebs you’re a winner too: qualify for the Sports Stars Challenge today.

Filming will take place in the UK from 29th May to 1st June. Prizes cannot be exchanged for cash and are not refundable.
