Our past tournaments
AveyFest 2025 – A Landmark First Summer Tournament
AveyFest 2025 marked the first ever summer AveyFest tournament, and it exceeded all expectations.
Held across four days over two weekends, the inaugural event welcomed over 150 teams to Horsfall Community Stadium from Bradford and beyond. It was more than just a football tournament — it was a true festival of grassroots sport.
Alongside competitive matches across multiple age groups, the event featured stalls, food from local vendors as well as our own catering team, and a vibrant atmosphere that brought families together throughout both weekends.
The football was played in the right spirit, the organisation received excellent feedback from clubs, and the sense of community around the stadium was clear for all to see.
That strong foundation now sets the stage for an even bigger AveyFest in 2026.

The tournament took place over two days, with the U7s and U8s competing on December 27th and the U9s and U10s showcasing their skills on December 28th.
Both days were filled with thrilling matches and incredible talent, with young players displaying determination, teamwork, and passion for the game. Each team brought their unique energy to Horsfall Community Stadium, making the event a joyous celebration of grassroots football.
