The home of the London 2012 Olympics will play host to the UEFA Champions Festival next week.

The free four-day programme features international football legends, futsal and World Freestyle Championships as well as a series of family-friendly activities.

The festival will be the first major event to come to the home of the 2012 London Olympics since last summer, taking place on The International Quarter close to Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and celebrating women’s football, futsal and grassroots football. 

The festival will offer visitors an array of exciting and fun activities each day, including a variety of skills clinics and competitions, organised by UEFA and its partners.

Steve McManaman, the 2013 UEFA Champions League final ambassador, said: “This year’s UEFA Champions Festival is going to be better than ever, and it is fantastic to have the event in Stratford as the area really came alive last summer for London 2012. 

"The programme of events is outstanding and with the different themes and focus for every day we can be sure there is something for everyone making it a perfect family day out.”
