Non-League Day, the biggest volunteer-led event in the non-league system, is returning for the first time since 2019 this weekend.
Non-League Day 2017
This is a story from the FSF archive – the FSF and SD merged to become the FSA in 2019.
Non-League Day, one of the biggest events on the football calendar promoting the Non-League game, returns for an eighth consecutive season during next month’s international break.
With the international break meaning that no Premier League or Championship fixtures will be taking place over the weekend of October 7th-8th, it’s a perfect opportunity for fans who don’t have their football fix to go and watch a local non-league side.
Non-League Day provides a platform for clubs to promote the importance of football outside the 92 league clubs and encourages fans to try out their local Non-League side. Once again Non-League Day will be raising money for Prostate Cancer UK.
Brian Lee, president of the National League said: “We totally support the ethos of Non-League Day.
“Such an opportunity gives all clubs the chance to open their doors and develop new friends and fans to our ever-growing family.
“This annual event is now well and truly embedded in the football calendar and we sincerely hope that it once more draws forth the recognition it deserves.”
