LONDON FA SUPPORTING BLACK HISTORY CUP 2023
As part of Black History Month 2023 celebrations, London FA have committed to support London Vets Ballerz’s Black History Cup 2023.
THE BLACK HISTORY CUP WAS AN IDEA CONCEIVED BY CONRAD FROM JAMROCK F.C. AND BEN CASCOE FROM LONDON SOUTH UNITED FC.
Both Conrad and Ben came together as they both felt that for many years, there wasn’t enough celebration of Black History Month in the football community.
Conrad and Ben both believed that there should be more workshops and competitions for Black History Month, to encourage more football clubs to support various equality and diversity initiatives which celebrate Black History Month.
As a result, the Black History Cup was born in 2022. In it’s first year, they only had 8 clubs involved and playing. The fixtures were being played midweek which came with its own challenges including the cost of hiring pitches with floodlights.
For 2023, numbers have increased significantly with 16 veteran clubs and 8 open age clubs involved, with these clubs coming from all areas of London as well as a tournament division in Kent.
