Gaza Sunbirds' Community Football for Palestine - in partnership w Baes FC

Gaza Sunbirds community football is back — and this time, we've got something special in store!

We're inviting supporters and players of all levels and genders to take part in our 8-a-side tournament in support of Palestine's Para-cycling team, who deliver aid across the Strip and represent Palestine with pride at international sports competitions. Register to play as a team, an individual (slotted into blended teams) or spectator.

Everything you've loved about our previous events is back - the inclusive atmosphere, the competitive spirit, the buzzing off-pitch energy - but this one has a new dimension. We're hosting this tournament in partnership with Baes FC, London's football team for women, trans, and non-binary people of Asian heritage. The stakes are higher than ever: the winning team won't just finish first — they'll face Baes FC in a final boss round. Think you've got what it takes?

We're also welcoming live music to the lineup for the first time, plus a seriously upgraded food offering. We'll have delicious Palestinian and Lebanese treats from Hiba Express as well as from Hackney based Altamura Bakehouse serving freshly baked goods with Puglia flavours. Whether you're refuelling between games or grazing from the sidelines, you're in good hands. Each ticket (both player and spectator) comes with one food token, profits from all additional food sales go towards Gaza Sunbirds' missions in the Strip and internationally. 

Whether you're here to play or to cheer, we'd love to have you with us.
