We're delighted to announce that our hugely popular Ramadan Football sessions will return to Teesside University next month.

Taking place on the 3G pitches out the back of the Olympia Building, the four-week community programme provides the opportunity for those observing the Islamic holy month to play football after sunset and Iftar (the breaking of fast and final call to prayer).

The sessions are open, inclusive and welcoming to all; you do not need to be observing Ramadan to attend.

All sessions are 9pm-11pm, providing a safe space for individuals to participate in sport while respecting fasting traditions.

Session dates:

  • 19 February 2026
  • 26 February 2026
  • 5 March 2026
  • 12 March 2026
