📣 Whitehaven AFC Stadium Drop In Sessions

At Whitehaven AFC, we believe grassroots football deserves facilities that match the passion, commitment, and talent of our players, volunteers, and community.

That’s why we’re exploring the development of a state-of-the-art container stadium — a modern, sustainable, and scalable solution that can transform how amateur clubs grow and thrive.

🏟️ Why a container stadium?

- Modern changing rooms and clubhouse facilities

- Flexible, modular design that grows with the club

- Sustainable and cost-effective construction

- A vibrant matchday experience for players, fans, and families

This project is about more than bricks and mortar. It’s about creating a community hub, inspiring the next generation, and future-proofing our club for years to come.

We’re currently looking to connect with partners, sponsors, local authorities, and supporters who share our vision and want to help turn ambition into reality.

If you’re interested in being part of this journey — whether through expertise, funding, or collaboration — we’d love to hear from you.
