We're still collecting donations
On the 17th August 2020 we'd raised £190 with 9 supporters in 28 days. But as every pound matters, we're continuing to collect donations from supporters.
We use football to encourage young people in Tottenham to excel in their education. We are 100% free so we can be inclusive for all.

On the 17th August 2020 we'd raised £190 with 9 supporters in 28 days. But as every pound matters, we're continuing to collect donations from supporters.
Our aim is to improve the education of students in Tottenham, one of the most deprived areas of London.
UEFA qualified coaches lead and set the tone for a program that is wedded to education. Participants are offered access to a free high quality football and futsal program that is provided on condition young people show a commitment to excellence in their education.
OUTCOMES
This academic year alone, 158 students have taken part in almost 10,000 hours of high quality sports provision, as a reward for their attitude to their education.
Over the last four years, we have increased the average college attendance of our participants to 94.2%. 5 of our graduates are completing their degree at Loughborough, widely regarded as the best sports university in the world, with many other graduates progressing into full time employment.
Beyond the pitch, we provided young people with a chance to gain skills and qualifications, In total, 72 participants have achieved FA coaching or officiating qualifications, with many moving into employment.
Our club has received the support of FIFA, the Premier League, Haringey Council, Totteham Hotspur, the London FA and the National Futsal League.
We have developed positive relationships with Oxford, Cambridge and Loughborough Universities, who have all welcomed us for tours and matches, and also been kind enough to visit us in North London for friendly matches.
In the last two years, we have started an additional Inclusion team for those with special educational needs and physical disabilities. We have created and run one of the few pan ability leagues for the London FA.
All of our provision is 100% FREE, to allow for all young people to be a part of it. Our club proudly reflects the diversity of Tottenham, and as a free to play club it has proved popular with refugees and asylum seekers who we actively welcome.
With travel costs unsustainable and facilities in Tottenham increasingly unaffordable (over £200 per game), we are attempting to raise the money to fund a minibus for the club to allow us to take the students to opportunities within Sport and Education in other parts of London and across England.
We would be extremely thankful if you would donate £10 to become a MEMBER of ESTUDIANTES and help us save the money to buy a minibus. We would be extremely grateful.
Many thanks, the team at Estudiantes London
