⚽️ MATCH ANNOUNCEMENT | Fans Museum v Man Up Durham ⚽️

We are excited to announce our first fixture of 2026 for The Fans Museum Hub – and what a way to start! 🙌

We will be taking on Man Up Durham at the Beacon of Light, Sunderland on Sunday 1st February, with kick-off at 10am

This match is just one of many fixtures that will form part of the Fans Museum Inclusion League – a bespoke league we are creating to encourage all ages and abilities to come together through a shared love of football. The league aims to offer not only physical and mental stimulation, but also help people feel a sense of worth, belonging and focus in their own lives.
We’d love for you to come along, watch and support both teams on the day ❤️🤍

💬 Phil Clark – Man Up Durham
“It is a privilege to come together with the Fans Museum on February 1st, 2026, for a football match at the Beacon of Light. Both ourselves at Man Up Durham and the Fans Museum recognise the importance of bringing men together to build bonds, feel part of a community, and form friendships. Opportunities like this support networking, connection, and physical activity, all of which are vital for wellbeing.
On February 1st, 25 men will come together through a shared love of football—an achievement in itself. We are very much looking forward to the game, win, lose, or draw. The real winner on the day will be men’s wellness.”

⚽️ Community. Inclusion. Wellbeing.

We hope to see you there!
