Hammer Opens New Playfootball Venue

PlayFootball has opened its doors to its latest centre in Romford with the help of West Ham United midfielder Matt Taylor and the adidas Predator Cup.

The West Ham favourite was on hand to meet Romford’s next generation of footballing talent at the centre, which was officially unveiled on last week. 

The new facility offers sporting opportunities to those in the local area, and is fitted with state of the art 3rd Generation 5 and 7-a-side pitches – the world’s best artificial, all-weather playing surfaces – as well as floodlit small-sided football pitches, changing rooms, on-site parking and a fully licensed sports bar.

The tournament, which raised funds for Help for Heroes, was attended by 32 teams, with ‘International’ coming out victorious and taking home a free season at PlayFootball, some brand new adidas boots and the title.

Andy Smith, general manager of PlayFootball Romford, said: ‘Everyone was delighted that Matt came along to open the new facility and a big thanks to him for opening our centre. The tournament was well attended and the quality of football was fantastic, we may have the next Premier League footballer on our doorstep in Romford!’

‘PlayFootball Romford is now open to the public and we encourage anyone to come down and have a look. We will offer the community an opportunity to keep fit, compete and most importantly have fun.’ 

The Brand New 3G 5-a-side Romford Centre is located at King George Playing Fields, Eastern Avenue West.
