Football at Active Meadowlands, Coventry

Across the UK, Barclays Spaces for Sports has delivered 200 sustainable sports sites to disadvantaged communities, and continues to launch initiatives to support, inspire and educate young people.

As title sponsors of the Barclays Premier League, we have access to some of the world's biggest football clubs and star players - and many have given their support to the programme.

Many of our sites also run training programmes in sports coaching skills, and have become home to teams playing a variety of sports.
