On Sunday 2nd October Aberdeen FC Community Trust held their first ever multicultural football tournament in partnership with Aberdeen Multicultural Centre

12 teams took part in 7 aside matches with over 130 participants altogether.

The event held at Aberdeen Sports Village saw over 25 nationalities involved, some communities taking part included Bangladeshi, Turkish, Middle-Eastern, Polish, Nigerian and Moroccan.

Harley Hamdani, Scottish FA Football Equity Officer with AFCCT said “It was absolutely fantastic to bring so many diverse community groups together through their shared love of football. Engaging with ethnic and religious minority groups is a very important aspect of AFCCT’s work as we aim to increase awareness of opportunities within the sport, leading to increased participation within the Scottish FA’s Player Pathway. The Celebration was very successful and we’re already looking forward to an even bigger and better tournament next year!”

Thank you to all the players who took part on the day.
