As the year draws closer to its festive conclusion, another busy weekend saw Omonia Youth FC teams competing across league fixtures while continuing to strengthen bonds that extend well beyond the pitch.

More Christmas Parties

Omonia teams continued to build friendships off the pitch, with festive socials bringing players together in a relaxed and fun environment. The U10 Girls White and U11 Girls Silver squads both enjoyed bowling and dinner, reinforcing the importance of connection beyond match-days.

Omonia Referee Development Programme

Omonia Youth FC supports the next generation of referees through its Referee Development Programme. The club sponsors a paid-for FA referee course, followed by five matches officiated for the club, before providing ongoing support across its North London venues.
