The StreetGames Football Pools Fives programme provides opportunities for young men and women, aged 16 to 25, from some of the most disadvantaged areas of the UK to play 5-a-side football and to also experience volunteering, coaching and try a range of other sports and activities.

The regional festival at Glasgow Club Petershill on Saturday, July 13, is the tenth of 11 StreetGames Football Pools Fives regional tournaments which will culminate in a National Final this summer at St George’s Park.
