About the Event:

The (soccer) Game is back! Come out and play or support your fellow Yalies in the annual Yale vs. Harvard clubs of London soccer match on the July 4th weekend. It is a full 90 minutes match on the Battersea all weather pitches, and we need all the turnout we can get – players of all levels are very welcome. Supporters are encouraged to come and cheer your fellow Yalies on from the touchline!

After the match there will be a joint Yale/Harvard July 4th drinks at a local pub (location tbc), all supporters and friends are welcome. In fact, if you know of any Yalies who used to be members, perhaps ones who have played in previous years, but have let their memberships lapse, definitely encourage them to come along.

Players and supports are encouraged to wear as much blue as possible, and bring along any Yale banners to help the cause!

According to the rules of the all-weather pitch, no football boots are permitted: no moulded, no bladed, and no studs.

Sun Gate is the best place to be dropped off because of the Formula E race track being built (many areas are restricted). It's then a short walk due east to the ground. The gate is situated at the junction of Albert Bridge Road & Prince of Wales Drive, and is a pedestrian gate only. The post code is SW11 4NJ as most taxis now use it.
