Tournament History

The One Culture Football festival, originally called the AsiaEurope Football Festival, started in 1999; its mission “to create a tournament which aimed to unite cultures through football, by encouraging people from all backgrounds to play together, we hope to help promote tolerance and understanding in all aspects of life”. The tournament became the largest Ethnic Football Festival in Europe, with the backing of leading football and government organisations.

From 2007 AsiaEurope Football Festival became known as OneCulture Football Festival due to the number of tournaments which were being scheduled outside of Europe including India, Pakistan, China and Africa.
