The ESFA is delighted to announce the dates and venue for the 21/22 PlayStation F.C. Schools’ Cup National Finals

The PlayStation F.C. Schools’ Cup National Finals festival is returning for 2022 and will see 20 Under 12 – Under 15 National Schools’ Cup Champions crowned at The Hawthorns!

This will be the second time West Bromwich Albion has hosted the PlayStation F.C. Schools’ Cup Finals and this year, the event will take place from Monday 22nd – Thursday 26th May, with five finals per day kicking off at:

  • 9:30am
  • 11:30am
  • 1:30pm
  • 3:30pm
  • 5:30pm

West Bromwich Albion provides a fantastic venue to host 40 teams, taking part in 20 finals and by combining the use of the WBA Academy Dome as well as the main stadium, it provides every team with a fantastic match-day experience from warm up to their post-match meal.

The Hawthorns hosted the ESFA’s live Schools’ Cup draws back in February as part of Schools’ Football Week, so this year’s finalists will already have seen their quarter and/or semi-final draws take place at the stadium in West Bromwich.

Plenty more news will be forthcoming on this incredible set of National Finals, including the full fixture list and other PlayStation F.C. Schools’ Cup activities – but for now, the 23rd – 26th May is a date for the diary.

Keep an eye on the ESFA’s website and social media channels for further updates and both the ESFA and the PlayStation F.C. Schools’ Cup teams hope to see you at the Hawthorns in May!
