Everyone is invited to come and watch the five-a-side
fancy footwork and cheer on their local team from 3pm to 9pm at the
Boleyn Ground in Upton Park.
The event is the culmination of heats in each forum area where
more than 2,200 young people and adults took part.
Executive adviser to community forums, Councillor Richard
Crawford said: "The turnout for the heats has been outstanding with
huge enthusiasm from all participants. It's great to have the
support of West Ham United and I hope people will take the
opportunity to visit the ground on finals day."
The eight to 11 year-old mixed girls and boys and 12 to 14
year-old boys will kick off at 3pm with the 12 to 16 year-old girls
and 15 to 17 year boys on the pitch at 4pm. The adult men and
women's final will follow at 6pm.
Competitors can win great prizes including trophies, medals,
T-shirts and sports goods.
The Women's FA Cup and the FA Community Shield will be on show
for people to take pictures.
There will also be refreshments and fun activities for the whole
family including health MOTs and entertainment from the Ascension
Eagles Cheerleaders.
The football tournament is the sixth in a series of community
forum sports challenges and is part of the LIVE LIFE campaign,
which aims to get people active.
There are nine community forums in Newham working to make each
local area a safer, healthier and more interesting place to
live.
