Football Remembers - 100 hundreds years on

Monday 03 Mar 2014
Football Remembers 6-14 December

Football is to commemorate the centenary of one of the most iconic moments of the First World War.

The 1914 Christmas Truce football match - with a week of remembrance activity in December 2014.

'Football Remembers Week' will take place from 6-14 December. 

A Moment in History

For the matches that take place in the Barclays Premier League, the Sky Bet Championship and the FA Cup Second Round from December 6-8, all 22 players who start the match will pose together in a group photograph as a mark of respect to those that played in the 1914 Christmas Truce match. The pictures will be uploaded to a special website. 

Fans, teams and schools will be asked to upload their pre-match pictures to the same site via social media over the course of Football Remembers Week. Any match of any size can be uploaded, from school to Sunday league fixtures, five-a-side matches to kickabouts in the back garden.

The site shall act as a moment of record of football in 2014, a century on from the First World War, and will be preserved for future generations.
