Football fundraising at Goals Soccer Centres
Alternatively, take part in "
Soccer Aid Fives", supported by UMBRO, at your local Goals Soccer Centre. Goals, the UK's premier 5-a-side centres, will be hosting Soccer Aid Fives 2008 on their purpose-built, all-weather pitches. This national 5-a-side football championship will be taking place at Goals Soccer Centres across the UK to raise awareness and funds for UNICEF, and give competitors the chance to join stars of Soccer Aid 2008 in a pre-match soccer skills session at Wembley Stadium. The winners will also receive their Soccer Aid Fives Championship trophy in front of a packed stadium on Soccer Aid match day.
Every Goals Soccer Centre across the country will hold a regional qualifying heat on either
Saturday 30 August or Sunday 31 August. The winners of the heats will progress on to national finals at Goals Hayes – a few minutes from Wembley Stadium – where they will compete for the chance to take part in the soccer skills session. Every team that makes the National Final will receive free tickets to the Soccer Aid match on Sunday 7 September at Wembley Stadium.
