Who We Are 

The UK is seen as the home of football both at the grassroots level and at the elite level. Almost every community has a football team; however, there is still much debate in the UK over the need for more funding of grassroots football. We still rely on the good will of hundreds of volunteers giving up hours and hours of their own time all around the country.

North East Hampshire Youth League (NEHYL) is affiliated to Hampshire FA and is managed by a committee of volunteers who are passionate about football and want girls and boys of all abilities to have the opportunity to join a local youth football club in our area - spanning Basingstoke to Chiddingfold and Petersfield to Finchampstead.

At the start of the 2023-2024 season the league is expecting to have almost 800 mixed gender and girls only teams registered from U7’s through to U18 and in a new and exciting development, we’ve signed up to be at the forefront of developing an effective pathway for youth players to make their way into open age (adult) football.
