Summer Football Tournament
AFC Wimbledon Foundation are delighted to announce we will be hosting a charity football tournament this summer, to raise money for our work inspiring, supporting and delivering positive change in our community.
The first stage of the tournament will take place at The Aspire Centre on Saturday 29th June, with four teams advancing to the semi-finals at Plough Lane ahead of an AFC Wimbledon pre-season friendly in July.
To make the tournament as accessible for people as possible, it will be split between the morning and afternoon, with two teams from each advancing to the semi-finals at Plough Lane in July. 32 teams will have the opportunity to win the £750 top prize, as well as free tickets to the pre-season game.
