UKU U14/U17 Open Indoor Qualifiers 2025 Draft Schedules and Information
The draft schedules for U14/U17 Open Indoor Qualifiers 2025, taking place on the weekend of Nov 22/23 are now available below.
Our schedules remain subject to change if teams are forced to withdraw, and if their withdrawal has a substantial impact on the schedule for one or more other teams.
Information for participants is on the event pages: Manchester, Swindon, Horsham. Some important messages may be added to the Header page of the schedules.
In particular please remember:
This year, Manchester and Swindon will be playing on rubbercrumb (3G) pitches. Trainers are ok, but we advise astroturf or football boots with short studs. Boots with long metal studs (eg Rugby style boots) or blades are not allowed. Horsham will be played on hardcourt and players should wear non-marking trainers.
We do not expect there to be an onsite café or shop, so please bring food and snacks.
Swindome: Only water bottles should be taken on to the pitches. Food and sports drinks may not be consumed on the pitches. Food may not be consumed in the gym. Please help tournament staff by taking as much of your own rubbish, especially plastic water bottles away with you as bin space at the venue is limited.
Bring warm clothes to wear between games as the venues can be quite cold.
We are expecting all three venues to be busy. Please help out tournament staff by minimising the belongings you need to bring with you to the venue and only take water bottles on to the pitches. Only players and coaches from the teams currently playing should be on the pitches whilst games are ongoing. Spectators should watch the games from behind the fence or on the balconies.
Membership
Pupils from UKU Affiliated Schools can compete for their school at this event without UKU membership.
All other UK-resident players, including those who are playing with a school team but do not attend that school, must have at least Basic UKU membership.
