Join in the Fun at this year’s Giffnock SC Football Festival!

"Planning for this year’s Giffnock Football Festival is well underway and this year’s festival is going to be even bigger and better! 3 years on and the Giffnock Football Festival has become one of the largest internal youth football festivals in the UK attracting teams from across England and Denmark with 150 games being played over the 2 days."

-Joe McKerns, Festival Director and Club Chairman


Held during the May holiday weekend Saturday 24th and Sunday 25th May we will see over 600 people come along to the Lochinch Complex at Pollok Country Park to watch the games, take part in the entertainment and enjoy the fun.  And best of all, entry is FREE!  So if you want to come along and enjoy a great day out, we’d love to see you there! 

The festival is open to everyone who is involved in the Giffnock Soccer Centre including the Giffnock SC United Disability team, Soccer Centre boys, Giffnock SC Amateurs, Boys' and Girls' teams and even our goalkeepers(!). 
Also, it’s not just restricted to the kids, Mums, Dads, Grans, Aunties and even babies are welcome – there’s something for everyone!  And we don’t want it to stop just there…we welcome anyone from the local community, so help us spread the word!
As well as the football games, you and your kids can join in the fun with entertainment such as:
Beat the Goalie
Sumo Suits
Bouncy Castles for under/over 9s
Sponge the Coach
Face Painting
Hair painting

…..and there’ll be plenty of food and drink available to purchase during the festival.

If you have some time to spare over the weekend and you want to help out, please get in touch with mailto:steve@johnstoneprojects.com  We’re always on the look out for festival volunteers.    
The Giffnock Soccer Centre Festival last year was a huge success.  It was great to see teams from across the world coming to play against Giffnock Soccer Centre and a fantastic experience for our boys and girls at the club.  We are aiming to make this year’s festival even bigger and better and that will be down to the people who turn up on the day to come and watch the games and to join in the activities on the day.

We look forward to seeing you there and hope you can help us spread the word!  

The festival's main sponsor is SecuriGroup and this year we have; pitch, programme and trophy sponsorship available.  If you want to become a sponsor, check out the details on our website at http://www.gscfootballfestival.co.uk/
