.. Leicester hosts Sikh Football tournament (15/06/03)


Some of you in Leicester may have been wondering what was going on on Victoria Park this weekend, as you would have seen footballs flying around and lots of Asians enjoying a football tournament.

It was a Sikh Khalsa Football Federation tournamnet, one of five that they organise nationwide.

It's funded by the temple, with no other financial support from anywhere and cost over £5,000 to stage this year, with a heck of a lot of organisation having gone into it.

There were 64 adult teams over the 2 days and on the Sunday there were also U-9s, U-11s, U-13s and U-15s. 5 Leicester teams were representing the City.

Leicester have 7 teams in the Khalsa Football Federation...Guru Nanak Gurdwara & FC Khalsa in the KFF 1st division, Leicester Asian X1 & Evington Old Boys in the 2nd division and Guru Nanak Gurdwara RES, Sikh Centre & FC Khalsa RES in the 3rd div.

More details can be found at http://www.khalsaff.com

FFS was made very welcome at the event; here's a few photos from the day.
