Exeter is officially England’s most active city!

New Sport England figures show 77% of adults here are physically active - the highest of any authority in the country.

A brilliant result for Exeter, but there’s still work to do to make being active easier for everyone, in every part of the city.

22nd Annual five-a-Side International Tournament – Kick Racism Out of Football (Kick It Out)

Exeter International Football Club, in partnership with Exeter City Community Trust, is organising a special international World Cup-style football tournament.

The 22nd annual summer five-a-side tournament will take place on Sunday 14 June 2026 and will once again celebrate diversity within the local community.

The competition encourages participation from local Black and minority ethnic teams and attracts players from many different parts of the world.

Previous winners have included teams representing Poland, Slovakia, Afghanistan and Lithuania.

The tournament was established more than 20 years ago by Exeter International United FC and Exeter City Community Trust and continues to receive support from the University of Exeter, which is hosting this year’s event. Exeter City Supporters’ Trust is also proudly supporting the tournament.

The organisers are backing the national Kick It Out campaign, which aims to tackle all forms of discrimination and racism in football.
