The Booth Centre vs The Rest of the World

Join the Booth Centre as we kick homelessness in to touch in 2026! Once again, BCFC (and celebrity guests) are kicking off against the ROTW.

On Friday, 8th May, Booth Centre FC will once again take on The Rest Of The World in our annual charity football match to raise funds for the Booth Centre - supporting people impacted by homelessness in Greater Manchester.

Expect 90 minutes of action-packed football; tackles, goals, skill - and that's just the Booth Centre team!

We’re thrilled to confirm that Andy Burnham, Mayor of Greater Manchester, will also be lining up for Booth Centre FC alongside members of the BC Community. He's already promised to not let the gaffer down - you need to be there to see it!

What can you expect in the stands?

• Proper football with real passion
• Competitive and fun atmosphere
• A second-to-none cake stall
• All proceeds going to a brilliant charity working with people in Manchester

Why It Matters

The Booth Centre provides a welcoming space and practical support for people affected by homelessness in Manchester from fit-for-purpose advice to opportunities to build confidence and skills.
Your ticket is more than pitch-side access to the match of the year, it is directly funding real change for thousands of people.
