Unity in the Community: Round Two, Bigger Than Ever
Westminster’s biggest community football celebration returns this September, calling every player, team and supporter to be part of something bigger than the game itself.
One weekend. One community. One ball.
This September, pitches across Paddington Recreation Ground come alive for Unity in the Community – our free grassroots football tournament that’s been bringing Westminster together for years. This isn’t just a competition. It’s neighbours becoming teammates, strangers becoming supporters, and a whole community showing up for each other on and off the pitch.
Mark your calendar: Saturday 5 & Sunday 6 September 2026
Here’s what you can expect:
Saturday 5: Kicks off with – a girls-only development session – skills, confidence and non-competitive matches in a fun, supportive space, backed by United Dragons FC.
Sunday 6: Brings the main event – a mixed-gender tournament open to U10, U12, U14 and U16 teams, all battling it out for medals and bragging rights on Westminster’s finest start of the art pitches.
Whether you’re rallying your five-a-side regulars, pulling together a squad from your school or club, or just showing up solo to be placed in a team – there’s a spot on the pitch with your name on it.
This is what community sport looks like. No fees. No barriers. Just people coming together to play the game they love.
Spaces are limited and filling up fast – so tag your teammates, share the tournament and sign up. Let’s fill every pitch.
