⚽ Why We Do It: Football with Purpose ⚽
At The London Football Tournament Association (LFTA), our mission is clear: make football accessible, meaningful, and unforgettable for every young footballer in London. We’re building more than just tournaments—we’re building a trusted, safe, and vibrant community through sport.
🛡️ A Safe and Trusted Space for Young Footballers 🛡️
In today’s world, it’s never been more important to offer safe, structured spaces where children and teens can thrive. Our tournaments create exactly that—a welcoming environment where young players can make friends, grow in confidence, and enjoy the game without pressure or judgment.
Parents trust us. Communities support us. And players keep coming back.
🏃♂️ Healthier Kids, Stronger Communities 🏃♂️
We’re passionate about getting kids off screens and onto the pitch. Every LFTA event promotes the physical, mental, and social benefits of sport—boosting fitness, reducing stress, and encouraging teamwork.
By making football affordable, exciting, and consistent, we help combat inactivity and isolation, especially in underserved areas where opportunities are limited.
👀 Opportunities On and Off the Pitch 👀
LFTA tournaments are more than games—they’re stepping stones to brighter futures.
We regularly welcome:

From officiating and coaching to event setup and social media, our tournaments create career pathways—many of which lead to a young person’s first job or CV-building experience.
In collaboration with local schools and community partners, LFTA is a platform for personal growth, skill development, and lifelong memories.
