Community Foundation Cup

Foundation

The annual grassroots club tournament takes place at the MEMS Priestfield Stadium each year, creating an inspiration event for young players from across Kent.  

64 teams from under 8’s - U12’s will be able to take part in the 2026 tournament scheduled to take place on Saturday 16th May & Sunday 17th May.  Each team will be guaranteed 75 minutes playing time with 5 x 15-minute matches with teams progressing to the Cup or Plate semi-finals / Finals. The format ensures all teams get the same playing experience inside the stadium.

Spectators will also be able to enjoy the experience by watching from the comfort of the stands, with plenty of food and drinks on offer.

There are eight team places per age group and the booking information will be available from December 2025.  In the meantime If you would like any further information, please e:Foundation@Gillinghamfc.com
