Laois Sports Partnership supports Midlands LGBT+ soccer at Portlaoise AFC

Portlaoise AFC has teamed up with the Midlands LGBT+ Project for Pride 5-a-side Football supported by the Laois Sports Partnership. 

The Midlands LGBT+ Project invites people to join us for a month of "fun-filled evenings of football" at the soccer club at Rosleighan in Portlaoise.

"Lace up your boots, grab your rainbow gear, and get ready to show off your skills on the pitch," say the organisers.

This sports event is open to both individual sign-ups and preassembled teams.

"Whether you're a seasoned pro or just looking to have a kick about with friends, everyone is welcome to join; no skills required just abit of fun.

"Don't miss out on this opportunity to play some footie, make new friends, and support the LGBTQ+ community. See you on the field," say the organisers. MORE BELOW PICTURE.placeholder image

The Midlands LGBT+ project is a support organisation covering Laois, Offaly, Westmeath and Kildare which aims is to reduce isolation, provide support and a community to LGBT+ People across the Midlands.

They say they offer a range of adult support groups, from trans groups, bookclubs to coffee meet up’s. They also offer a range of training options to suit all schools, organisations and community groups and we run incredible events throughout the year like Laois Pride.
