London APSA Football
Club
London APSA (London All Peoples'
Sports Association) was formed in 1993, corresponding with the
creation of the first Asian Football League (AFL).
A group of friends from Newham's East Ham College merged
with a local youth team, known as Young Muslims, who were no longer
eligible to play under 16's football. Brought together by the
current Club Chairman, Zulfi Ali, APSA, who were then known as Ahle
Sunnah, were crowned the first ever-Asian League Champions.
For a number of years the team continued to participate, with some
success, in a number of Asian run competitions. However, it was not
until April 1999 that the club became really serious about making a
mark in mainstream football, and saw a turning point in the
direction of the club. London APSA currently play in the Essex
Senior Football League.
The Essex Senior Football League is an English football league
covering Essex and East London. The football league is a feeder to
the Isthmian League and has a single division which sits at step 5
(or level 9) of the National League System. Training currently
takes place at Rokeby School, Pitchford Street, Stratford, E15 4RZ.
Training days are Tuesdays and Thursdays, 7:00pm-9:30pm, for Under
18's and Adults only.
