SSTW Football Academy

Our football journey began in 2010, with 30–40 passionate over-16s playing every Saturday at Willesden Sports Centre — rain, shine, or snow. It was all about the love of the game, old-school style.

By 2014, younger players began to join, and we launched under-16 training sessions. The team saw success early, winning the SKLPC Trophy in 2015 and several more tournaments since.

COVID-19 paused everything, but the passion returned stronger than ever. In February 2024, SSTW Football Academy was officially launched — a home for boys and girls to develop on and off the pitch, guided by cultural values and a competitive spirit.

Highlights

In our first season, 95 players aged 4–16 joined, supported by dedicated parents and coaches.

Blessing My Home

In today’s fast-paced world, we all seek peace, love, and strength. Satsang gatherings in God’s presence bring immeasurable energy. Bhagwan Swaminarayan taught us how simple living, daily remembrance of God, and temple connection give our lives energy, purpose, and protection. Today, as part of our 50th Mandir Patotsav, Sahajanand Sahayate, we invite all of you to not miss out on this unique opportunity of having our Harikrishna Maharaj & Esteemed Santo visit your homes.

Mahapooja is an immense medium for feeling the bliss of ‘Heaven Within’ our soul, allowing for the blessings of Bhagwan Almighty and His Mukto upon our lives. Don’t miss out on this heavenly opportunity.
