The Armed Forces Day Football Fest is coming to the LNER Community Stadium on Saturday 6 July, 11am – 5pm, with Ladies and Men’s teams from the British Army going head-to-head with North Yorkshire Police in this inaugural competition.
The tournament will see teams made up of members of local military personnel, competing as “York Garrison” versus North Yorkshire Police, taking part in what promises to be a highly entertaining duo of football matches.
Turnstiles open at 11:00am. The Ladies match kicks off at 12 noon and the Men’s match kicks off at 2:30pm. In addition to the football there will be information stalls outside the stadium, and children’s entertainment, music and performances within the stadium grounds.
The event is free due to the generous sponsorship of LNER and other local businesses and pre-booking is essential. Profits for the event will be donated to a nominated armed forces charity which this year is Defence Medical Welfare Services, so please give generously.
