Sunday’s event will see 16 teams of over-35s play seven-a-side games before a semi-final and final.
There will also be a raffle, food and drink – and some Chesterfield FC legends in attendance.
The tournament will also raise cash for Ashgate Hospice and Macmillan Cancer Support.

“From team donations and sponsors, we’ve already raised £3,100 which is absolutely extraordinary – and we hope to raise lots more on the day.”
People can pay as much as they wish at the gates to get in.
