A popular operator of five-a-side football pitches has launched at a new location.

Powerleague has now brought along 17 football pitches – eight for seven-a-side and nine for five-a-side – at The Hive in Cannons Park.

Opening today (December 12), Powerleague The Hive will be open seven days a week from 9am to 10.30pm.

The pitches will be run in partnership with The Hive London, which opened in 2009.

In addition to the football pitches, the venue offers a stadium, conference facilities, a scanning and diagnostics medical facility, 13 hireable event spaces, a gym, a Starbucks and onsite parking.

Christian Rose, CEO of Powerleague, said: “We're delighted to have added 17 more pitches to our vast portfolio across the UK, which allows us to expand our business while offering the North London community greater access to football's physical and mental benefits.

“With nearby Powerleague clubs popular with players, we can’t wait to meet more talent from across North London and beyond, on our pitches.”
