10 of @england 's 26-man squad were born or raised in London.
Before Wembley.
Before the Premier League.
Before England.
There was a local playing field.
The road to the World Cup starts much closer to home than most people realise.

Sport is more than a game — it’s a boost for mental health.
As we mark Mental Health Awareness Week, we’re celebrating the power of sport to help Londoners feel healthier and happier.
Thank you for helping us to provide a place to play sport forever.

🌱 Happy #GroundsWeek! 🌱
Massive shout‑out to all the grounds staff working tirelessly at grassroots venues across the country. After a long football season filled with relentless rain & nonstop fixtures, you’re the ones making sure the pitches stay playable & safe.

To celebrate #GroundsWeek we spoke to Kevin, Head Groundsman at LMPF Greenford, to find out a bit more about what he does and why he loves it (and what he listens to on those long days outdoors!) 🌱 @wearetheGMA

It’s #GroundsWeek.
A reminder that without grounds teams, there is no match day.
Big shout-out to our grounds staff (looking smart in this photo!) who are out in the rain, mud and early mornings ensuring pitches are prepared and ready for you!

Quick heads-up… #GroundsWeek is coming 🌱
A whole week to shout about the people who make sport possible. Our grounds staff are the lifeblood of our organisation. Without them we wouldn't be able to provide a place to play sport forever!

💚⚽This #GreatMentalHealthDay, we’re celebrating #EverydaySpaces and playing fields are right at the heart of that. Local pitches give people space to move, connect and support each other, helping break down the stigma around mental health through sport and physical activity.
