Pokémon UK has announced that they have teamed up with The Football Association in England and have provided teachers and SGOs resources as part of the Pokémon Futsal Challenge. The goal is to get kids active and interested in Football while involving them in a fun filled activity which gets kids moving with the purpose of maximising the School Games values and ensuring all children can achieve.

Football is the national sport of England and it is an invasion game, traditionally played between two teams of eleven players, but can also be played in other formats such as 5v5, 7v7 and 9v9. The game was born in England but has since become the most played sport in the world.
