FA Umbro Fives
The FA UMBRO Fives competition is a nationwide tournament aimed at finding the best five-a-side football team in the country. This small sided football tournament, now in its second year, will see teams do battle up and down the country over the coming weeks all intent on reaching one goal - a place in The FA UMBRO Fives Finals at the home of English football, Wembley Stadium.
The tournament kicks-off in March and is open to both men’s and women’s teams of any ability. It begins with a series of local qualifying heats taking place around the county from mid-March through to the end of May. This year for the first time team’s can enter the heats online by simply logging on to www.TheFA.com/UmbroFives The winners of these qualifying heats will then progress through to one of nine regional finals which will be contested during June and July.
At the regional finals teams will battle it out for the ultimate prize in five-a-side football – a place in the Wembley Finals later this year – where 24 men's teams and eight women's teams will seek to win this season’s FA UMBRO Fives title.
And, as an added bonus, eight lucky losing teams knocked out during the local qualifiers will be selected at random to play in their own mini-final, also at Wembley.
