Our City United Tournament

On 25th April there will be a five-a-side football tournament taking place at Wythenshawe Amateurs A.F.C. With music and food afterwards, it’s shaping up to be a fantastic event.

Sponsored by UNISON North West, Our City United has been organising international amateur football events for the last few years.

Their tournaments are an expression of anti-racism and community, and a showcase of solidarity by amateur football teams from the local area and across the world, building links between people of all races.



With guests and teams coming as far away as Mexico and Denmark but as close to home as just down the road it forges international solidarity between people, learning from and supporting each other in a way that wouldn’t be possible otherwise.




If you want to enter a team, it’s FREE! Contact manchesterourcityunitedfootball@hotmail.com or check out their Facebook page.








News of the tournament comes the same month that another sporting charity, Show Racism the Red Card rejected calls from the Board of Deputies to remove Ken Loach as a judge in their school art competition. The charity has reaffirmed it’s decision to work with Ken Loach as well as author Michael Rosen. Read the full Morning Star story here...
