Football National Finals
Tuesday 25th March 2025The third of our three National Finals days for 2024-25 took place on Saturday 22nd March, with young people from across the UK heading to Lisburn in Northern Ireland with the aim of becoming our 5-a-side Football National Champions.
We are grateful to The Northern Ireland Boys’ Brigade for hosting the event, which took place at Lisburn Leisureplex and saw separate finals take place for the Company and Seniors age groups.
These are two of seven National Competitions, alongside Badminton, Chess, FIFA, Masterteam (Quiz) and Table Tennis. Teams take part in a number of local rounds before reaching their regional final and then, if successful, going on to the National Final.
