The League

Our league is well regarded as one of the most reputable and most recognised grass-roots sunday football leagues in the UK.

The Hackney & Leyton Football League has been going strong since 1949 and is synonomous with grassroots soccer across the country.

The setting for games on a Sunday is the famous Hackney Marshes in East London. Which was also the setting of the famous Nike Park Life commericial in 1997 staring Eric Cantona and Ian Wright.

One of the reasons why our league has been so successful is due the tireless work that the league committee , who make this league possible, put in on a weekly basis throughout the whole season year in year out.

Also to point out is ALL our committee do not get paid to do the jobs they do. They do this voluntarily and for the love of the game.

More importantly they give up vast amounts of their time for YOU. The people who play week in week out. This is only possible due to the hard work and the free time the committee put in.

Many times their work goes unrecognised and unappreciated throughout the season. People do not realise how much work actually goes in behind the scences to make the league run as smoothly as possible.

They are a credit to our league and year in year out they put in their hard efforts to keep ir running for the benefit of the thousands of people who have benefited through playing in our prestigious league.
