Manchester to host Emergency Services Football League finals day

The Emergency Services Football League (ESFL) will hold its finals day in Manchester this year, with teams across the country travelling to the city for the event on Sunday, June 4.

The ESFL started in 2019 and is the only league of its kind in the UK, open exclusively to teams from the Police, Fire, NHS and His Majesty’s Prison Service.

This season has seen over 100 teams taking part in each of the men's, women's and veteran's league, with the competition now whittled down to just two finalists from each.

The men's league will see North Wales Police take on Thames Valley Police, while the women's final will be between Midlands Police and London Fire. The veterans' final will see London Fire and Met Police go head-to-head.

All three finals will take place on Sunday, June 4 at Broadhurst Park Stadium, home to Northern Premier League Premier Division side FC United of Manchester.

Adults can gain admission to the stadium for all three games for just £5, while tickets are half-price at £2.50 for under-16s. There will be a bar at the ground which will be open all day.
