The First-Year Seven-a-Side Football Tournament kicks off on 7 March 2026, and it is not just about scoring goals.

For many first-year students, the tournament is a fantastic way to meet new people and make friends in a fun, relaxed environment. These early connections help ease the transition into university life and often create bonds that last well beyond the final whistle.

The tournament will help keep students active and healthy. Playing football improves fitness, builds teamwork skills, and gives students a welcome break from their studies, helping to reduce stress and boost energy.

Additionally, beyond the field, the tournament brings the campus together. Cheering for teammates, supporting friends, and celebrating wins and losses alike shows that campus life is about community, teamwork, and belonging.

The First-Year Seven-a-Side Tournament is more than a game – it is also a celebration of friendship, fun, and being part of something bigger than yourself. Be there or be told!
