Reading Community Cup football tournament returns for the fifth year this month, with Giveback FC looking to retain their title.

Set for Saturday, June 24, at Sir John Madejski Academy, four teams are taking part.

Sanctuary Strikers, Giveback FC, Bethel United and Care4calais FC will look to lift the trophy, with the event open to anyone and kicking off from 11am.

The event is part of the Refugee week, June 19-25, with this year's theme being Compassionate. 

Reading Chronicle:

The event is held every year to raise awareness and also help Asylum seekers and refugees to settle in Reading.

"Football is a great way to start a conversation getting people talking and learning from each other's cultural background," said Sanctuary Strikers chairman Tomson Chauke.

"Sanctuary Strikers and Reading Refugee Support group would like to also thank Reading FC Community Trust and KitAid for their continued support to building our community through football."
