Masters football
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Masters football is a 6 a-side indoor football competition in the United Kingdom, where players over the age of 35 are chosen by the Professional Footballers Association to represent a senior club for which they played. Regional heats are held, and the winners of each go forward to a national finals competition. Events are contested over the course of a single evening, (usually on Saturdays or Sundays), with games played in 2 halves of 8 minutes duration. Matches are televised live on the UK subscription channel Sky Sports.
