Club background
Lopes Tavares London Football Club (LTL FC) was founded in 2015 as a youth team and created an adult team in 2016.
LTL FC is an east London based club in the heart of the community. For over the past 2 years the club has been playing at the Terrance McMillan stadium in Newham, East London. LTL FC is a member of Eastern Counties Football League Division One South and the highest Non-League football club in the borough of Newham. The club is a Charter Standard accredited by the English Football Association.
LTL FC includes people from diverse community and offers opportunity for everybody from young boys and girls taking their first steps in the game to aged vets. For the 2020/21 season we are planning to create more teams such as ladies, U16’s, U12’s, U8’s and U6’s.
As you all know, the COVID – 19 has created serious financial challenges in all footballing plans this summer which means that we might not see football until summer 2021. However, we are determined to survive and to keep offering our community an amazing facility. These are tough times for all small community clubs and we need your help more than ever. Our ground needs plenty of maintenance over the summer, we need to make some upgrades to the ground which include a new grass, an extension of the clubhouse, new toilets, turnstiles, ground fencing and dugouts.
Most clubs run on tight margins and LTL FC is exactly the same. Since its establishment in 2015, LTL FC has been financed by our chairman who, unfortunately, has suffered significant financial difficulties caused by the COVID – 19 pandemics. As a result, LTL FC is at risk of collapsing. With our numerous bills to pay, and no income due to COVID – 19, we need financial assistance from our members, friends and the local community to contribute if possible.
