Forbidden City FC 紫禁城足球俱乐部

Hello Lads,

Some of you may have heard that a select Forbidden City FC team is taking part in the BTV Cup, a summer competition for the various league winners in Beijing.  Their first group game is on Saturday 13th August at 9am.  Support is welcome.  Depending how City progress, later games will be shown live on BTV.

But that doesn’t mean the rest of us can’t have fun!

We are entering at least one team (depending on response) in a friendly 7 a-side all day tournament played on real grass (a rarity in Beijing!) at Dulwich School in Shunyi, Saturday August 13th.  This should be a fun day out with a number of games against around six other Beijing teams with a BBQ and cold beers available throughout the day.

- Fun day with football and BBQ.
- Grass pitches at Dulwich College
- All day tournament, 13th August 11am-4pm
- Competitive teams.
- All players old and new encouraged to take part.
- Cost less than ¥100 per person.
Read more info below.

Please let me know YES/NO. Do it now.

Get involved.

Thanks,
Pikey

Forbidden City Football Club was born in 2004 and our first tour was that same summer, when we all headed to Shanghai for some summer action …We had some fun in Shanghai’s clubs and played well on the pitch, winning the Plate Competition.[Gallery not found]
