We are the creators of stadium football tournament experiences establishing in 2010. This year marks our 15th year anniversary. Since our first tournaments at Reading FC and Portsmouth FC stadiums, we are proud to be trusted by some of the world's biggest clubs including FC Barcelona, PSG, Arsenal, Benfica, LA Galaxy & more in using their stadium for our tournaments. We have a young & friendly team who deliver fun and exciting experiences on the day and cannot wait to greet you! The tournament attracts entries from teams located from across the UK - a great opportunity to experience playing against different styles and make new friends. The stands will be open to spectators to make some noise and cheer on their players. A professional photography and filming service will also be available to book so you can capture memories to cherish from this special day. Please note some age groups may be merged (i.e U13/14) depending on demand. Girls teams can play an age group down in line with FA rules. All age groups are based on the current 2025/26 football season. There will be 4 (Cup) or 8 (Cup & Plate) teams per age group depending on interest. Please note your teams may play against each other if you are entering multiple teams. This is a youth football tournament with predominately grassroots level teams. Official club academies (i.e Arsenal FC U9s) cannot enter. Teams in groups are allocated randomly and not by ability level. The only considerations taken are to avoid clashes from clubs who enter multiple teams and the special dispensation for girls teams to play an age group down. The below timings are approximate and the full schedule will be confirmed in April 2026.
