Football (Men)

We are comprised of 4 inter-university league teams (3 competing within BUCS leagues and 3 in LUSL leagues) and a Queen Mary intra-university league. Both provide a platform for competitive matches for those interested and committed to 11-a-side football.We undertake volunteering within the local community. We’ve organised a successful football festival, which is repeated every year. We’re also in the process of kick starting a mentoring programme.Every year we continuously strive to improve the standard of football we play in order to achieve the best results possible. We also seek to have a good social atmosphere which allows all members to enjoy their football and be part of a unique club.Taster Session/Trials All students who wish to join QMFC must attend trials.
