Welcome to the general fundraising page of the Football Marathon.  This page is designed for any player or team who want to make their £20 registration donation or for anyone who wants to sponsor anyone playing in the event.  Remember to reference your team name if you're making a registration donation.

The Football Marathon takes place on Clapham Common on 11th July 2009, with teams playing for 12 hours in a fundraising super-tournament.  Last year, 270 players played 363 games of football in a single day, raising over £70,000 in the process.

All the money raised goes directly to TackleAfrica, helping run long term programmes in 6 different African countries (Uganda, left, Ghana, Zambia, Kenya, Tanzania and South Africa) helping young people affected by and at risk of HIV.  TackleAfrica train local coaches, peer educators and youth leaders to use the TackleAfrica training manual to deliver HIV messages to young people through football coaching.

TackleAfrica are run almost entirely by volunteers and every penny we raise makes a huge difference to the people and organisations in Africa that we support.  For more information visit www.tackleafrica.org
