Fulham FC Foundation host a variety of tournaments and festivals for primary school children throughout the academic year via our Premier League Primary Stars programme.
Supported by the Premier League Charitable Trust, these Primary Stars events aim to engage and inspire a diverse range of children through the use of the Premier League's values: Be Connected, Be Inspiring, Be Ambitious, Be Fair.
A variety of different events are run through the autumn, spring and summer terms, with opportunities for primary schools across South West London to get involved.
Primary SEND Festival
This event is for children in school years 3-6 who have special educational needs and/or a disability. Pupils will have the opportunity to take part in a variety of multi-sports games and competitions before playing in non-competitive football fixtures in the afternoon.
The event gives pupils with additional superpowers the opportunity to play and shine in sporting events regardless of their abilities. Our SEND Festivals are pivotal to driving equality, diversity and inclusion by providing children with a safe and fun place to show off their talent to others.
Fulham FC Foundation Cup (Girls and Mixed)
One of our most popular events of the year, the Fulham FC Foundation Cup takes place in the autumn term at the Fulham FC Training Ground.
These six-a-side tournaments provide pupils in years 5 and 6 with the opportunity to play competitively against schools in the area. The winner of both the mixed and girls tournament will go on to represent Fulham at the prestigious national Premier League Primary Stars tournament, competing against other Premier League clubs in May 2025.
This competition uses the Premier League values to drive competitive sport in a fair and safe environment.
Jane, a Year 5 pupil, said: "It was perfect, I wish it was longer! I learned different skills and liked watching other schools we haven't played before."
Let Girls Play Festival
To celebrate International Women's Day, Fulham FC Foundation welcomes more than 100 female pupils in years 3 and 4 to the Club's Training Ground.
Pupils have the opportunity to leearn a range of techniques and skills, as well as experience a variety of sporting activities in the morning, followed by a non-competitive football tournament in the afternoon.
This is one of many events that we deliver around International Women's Day, ensuring women and girls are recognised, welcomed and empowered in the world of sport.
