On Saturday 13th April 2024, we held a football festival for women and non-binary clubs, and small-sided teams.

Fourteen teams from across London joined us for a day of football in the sun, with a number of teams and players getting their first experience of  playing 11-a-side football in a fun, safe and inclusive environment.

There was a great atmosphere throughout the day, with plenty of competition, yet players also helping each other to develop and learn as they played a new format.

Thank you to Douglas Eyre for hosting us, and the referees who officiated the games.

In keeping with the spirit of the day, teams remained at the ground enjoying some food and drink, and exchanging stories about the beautiful game.

If you are interested in taking part in the next festival or would also like more information on 11-a-side football, please email Samantha on samantha.brown@amateur-fa.com.
