Videography

Last Wednesday, 04 February saw the newly established England International Schoolboys’ U18 team take on the Australian Schoolboys’ team at Stafford Town FC for their first International friendly match of the season.

The match was an opportunity for both teams to showcase their skills not only in front of the crowd at Evans Park, but in front of 247.TV’s camera crew, who streamed it live online to viewers in not only the UK but also Australia for just £5.

We are pleased to announce that the match is still available to watch on replay in HD quality for £5 payment via PayPal on this link. Not only was the quality of the football showcased on the day excellent, but the ESFA are thrilled with the quality of the broadcast, with special thanks to Jonny Bryan and ex-footballer and manager Martin Foyle for their full commentary on the day.

We are very much hoping that these broadcasts will become part of the ESFA backbone and by showing your support with this, you will help to allow us to share with so many more people outside of the Schools’ Football community, the skills and promise of England’s potential upcoming stars.

We also have an excellent highlight reel available from the match, which we hope will encourage viewers to watch the full match and also sign up to future matches provided by the ESFA and 247.TV. This will also be uploaded to our ESFA YouTube channel, ESFA TV.
