Oldham six-a-side football league is going from strength to strength

Around 300 local footballers are already playing in the league at Oasis Academy

A community, not for profit, six-a-side football league in Oldham has been so overwhelmed with teams clamouring to join they have announced a massive expansion of the competition. 

Around 300 local footballers are already playing in the league at Oasis Academy, but such has been the clamour for the competitions, space has now been created for another 160 to join, with a Wednesday league set to kick off next month. 

The six-a-side league will see hundreds of local players able to play, and these are players of all abilities.

Leisure League Manager Adam Glover said: “2023 has been incredible so far.

"We have had more team entries than ever before.

"We are grateful to the staff at the wonderful facilities at Oasis for being able to house all the new teams.”

Winning teams gain brilliant prizes.

There are also prizes for the runners-up, and Most Valuable Player.

Qualified referees will have all equipment provided, together with regular training from the likes of Mark Clattenburg and Peter Walton, who are Leisure Leagues ambassadors. 

The expanding leagues are filling up already.
