Launching with the “Ronaldinho And Friends” games that drew the biggest crowds in the history of 6-a-side football. He has since gone on to preside over a rapid expansion into over 80 cities as Leisure Leagues received awards from the UN for their humanitarian work.
Leisure Leagues, for years synonymous with small-sided football in the UK, has in a relatively short amount of time become a global super power in the world of 5-a-side and 6-a-side football with millions of players playing in countries as diverse as Greece, Pakistan, Mexico and the United States. Allied to this grassroots phenomenon, Leisure Leagues have also organised the two biggest world events for
small-sided football in the history of the sport in Lisbon 2018 and Crete 2019. Partnering with Pakistan’s World Group has seen the uptake of this popular sport appeal across communities everywhere and has forged a new UK/ Pakistan partnership in the field of leisure which continues to go from strength to strength.
The International Socca Federation (ISF) is the industry leading organizer of international small-sided football competitions for both national teams and club teams in the formats of 5,6, 7 and 8-a-side football.
