Friday Night Football

Friday Night Football is a weekly initiative by RISE Projects, offering young people aged 16-24 the opportunity to engage in structured football sessions at Park View Astro. Designed to provide a fun, competitive, and safe environment, the sessions welcome 24 players each week, divided into teams of 8. Participants compete in a friendly yet intense format, fostering teamwork, skill development, and community spirit.

Why Friday Night Football Matters

Launched in response to the challenges faced by young people post-COVID lockdown, Friday Night Football was created to provide a safe and positive space for young people in Haringey. Tottenham and the surrounding areas experience significant socio-economic challenges, with youth violence, anti-social behaviour, and knife crime remaining pressing concerns.

By offering a free and accessible football program, we:

✔ Provide an alternative to negative influences such as gang culture and drug activity
✔ Help reduce postcode-related tensions within Haringey
✔ Support young people in developing discipline, leadership, and social skills
✔ Offer a space for fun, fitness, and community engagement

At Friday Night Football, we believe in the power of sport to unite, empower, and protect our youth. Whether you're a regular player or new to the game, our sessions are open to all who want to stay active, connect with others, and enjoy the sport they love.
