Powerleague, the leader and largest provider in small sided football, has expanded its portfolio to include 17 new football pitches in North London. Opening 12th December, Powerleague The Hive, previously The Hive Football Centre, will be open 7 days a week from 9am-10.30pm.

With eight 7-a-side and nine 5-a-side pitches, players can take advantage of the state-of-the-art pitches with shock pad synthetic rubber, and the latest LED floodlight technology to ensure the best quality of games all year-round.

The pitches will be run in partnership with The Hive London, which opened in 2009. The Hive London is an International Football Training Venue and centre of excellence. In addition to the football pitches, the venue offers a stadium, conference facilities, a world-class scanning and diagnostics medical facility by TIC Health, 13 hireable event spaces, a gym, a Starbucks and ample onsite parking.

The new Powerleague club, based in Edgware, offers a great value facility and a space for football enthusiasts in North London to come together as a community and benefit from the range of mental and physical advantages that come from playing the nation’s favourite sport.

Christian Rose, CEO of Powerleague, said: “We’re delighted to have added 17 more pitches to our vast portfolio across the UK, which allows us to expand our business while offering the North London community greater access to football’s physical and mental benefits.

“With nearby Powerleague clubs popular with players, we can’t wait to meet more talent from across North London and beyond, on our pitches.”

Anthony Kleanthous, Chairman of The Hive London, said: “As the biggest football centre in Europe, we are delighted to welcome Powerleague to The Hive.

“We are perfectly set up to accommodate them and they are specialists in their field, so this is a really good fit.

“We are proud to have Powerleague heading up the operation and are excited to welcome their players to Powerleague, The Hive London.”

The opening of Powerleague The Hive brings the total number of Powerleague clubs in the UK to 41, with much more planned in 2023 as participation in team sports continues to grow in popularity.
