VMFC hosts UK's biggest LGBTQ+ tournament!
6 June 2026
​
For the fifth time in our history, more than any other club, VMFC hosted the annual GFSN (Gay Football Supporters' Network) Summer Tournament. We were keen to host this year as part of our 30th anniversary celebrations. The event included the traditional football shirt night draw party on the Friday night at The Brewers, a full day of five-a-side football on the Saturday where eight groups became six divisions and everyone made it to the quarter finals, and followed by the tournament and GFSN annual awards night at Cruz, with over 400 people present.
​
23 clubs, 48 teams, 368 players!
​
To top off a hugely successful tournament, VMFC's 'Team Linten' only went and won the event, finishing top of Division One. VMFC would like to thank everyone who helped, especially our wonderful volunteer Results Officials who spent the day putting scores into their phones and made life much easier for refs, managers and organisers!
And the winner is...
20 March 2026
At a glitzy ceremony, Village Manchester FC was presented with LGBTQ+ Sports Club of the Year at the Gaydio Awards.
​
We were thrilled to win, not just for our work over the last year, but recognising 30 years of providing football in a safe and welcoming environment for Manchester's diverse LGBTQ+ community.
