WE’RE SEEKING PARTNERS TO HELP US CREATE NEW FA MARS JUST PLAY CENTRES ACROSS THE CAPITAL.

We have the opportunity to support a number of individuals and organisations to start new adult recreational football or futsal sessions across the capital.

What is the FA Mars Just Play programme?

A recreational form of football providing access to affordable, fun, organised kickabouts in suitable facilities with trained organisers for ages 16+ (e.g. club coaches, parents, women-only, men-only, 16–25’s, veterans, walking, futsal, health-themed, or work colleagues etc.)
