The Football Olympics – Solihull Moors Foundation at Resorts World Birmingham

With the Lionesses defending their Euros title this summer, football fever is in full swing. To celebrate, Solihull Moors Foundation and Resorts World are teaming up to offer a free family-friendly day to fans excited for the final on Sunday 27 July. Running from 12pm to 4pm, the event promises plenty of footie fun, fast-paced challenges and a chance to show off your skills, with prizes up for grabs for those who rise to the top of the table.

The Football Olympics is a six-part challenge where players will measure their pace, power and precision. Those taking part will have five chances to smash the target in a shooting drill, try their luck at football archery, and race the clock in a ten-metre sprint. Partaking in the games will require children to be five or over.

There’s also football bowling, where players will aim to knock down as many ‘pins’ as possible; mini-goal shooting with points awarded based on distance; and a slalom sprint that puts their dribbling skills to the test.

Points will be tallied from each activity, and the day’s top scorers within the four age categories (5-7 years, 8-10 years, 11-13 years and 14-16 years), will win prizes including a signed Solihull Moors Foundation football shirt, a women’s season ticket and a £50 Resorts World gift card. Full terms and conditions are available on the Resorts World Birmingham website. Whether you’re out to prove your skills or just want to have a laugh with friends or family, it’s a pitch-perfect way to spend your Sunday.

Even the littlest football fans can join in the fun too, with free face painting available throughout the afternoon: expect to see plenty of colourful lions, tigers, and maybe even a few meerkats in the crowd… In fact, Soli the Moorkat – Solihull Moors meerkat mascot – will be making a special appearance on the day, ready to high-five fans, pose for photos and bring plenty of energy to the pitch-side action.
