Brief History
How It Began
The Camden Sunday Football League was founded by Bill Price in 1947 under the name of the “Hampstead and District Sunday Football League”.
By 1950, the league was well established in Regents Park, Parliament Hill Fields, Hampstead Heath Extension and, of course, Hackney Marshes.
In 1954 the league had eighty teams spread out across eight divisions, changing its name to the Camden Sunday League eleven years later.
The Camden Sunday Football League now resides in Hackney Marshes at the North Marsh, a short trip away from the iconic Olympic Park.
The league has a cup competition named after its founder, Bill (The Bill Price Memorial Cup) and runs a further three to four tournaments alongside it’s two league divisions.
The Camden Sunday Football League is a friendly & competitive senior men’s league based in north London.
The league motto ‘Non Sibi Sed Toti’ means ‘Not for one’s self, but for all’.
