The Yasmine McClory Foundation is delighted to announce its upcoming five-a-side football tournament, set to take place on Saturday 14th June at Sutton-on-Trent Football Club. This event aims to bring the community together for a day of spirited competition while raising funds to support the Foundation’s initiatives.

Event details

  • Date: Saturday 14th June
  • Kick-off: 11.00am
  • Location: Sutton-on-Trent Football Club
  • Team composition: five-a-side teams, with a maximum of 10 players per team

  • Registration fee: £50.00 per team

Teams will compete for several accolades, including trophies for the Champions, Runners-up, Third Place, Player of the Tournament, and the Golden Boot winner. The tournament will commence with early rounds on three pitches to ensure continuous play, culminating in a third-place play-off to determine the bronze medalists.
