The brand-new King George V Football Complex has been nominated for a prestigious SECBE Constructing Excellence award in the ‘Integration and Collaborative Working’ category!
It is more than just a sports facility – it’s a symbol of what’s possible when communities, councils, and partners come together. Thanks to an £8.1m investment led by Portsmouth City Council and the Football Foundation, the site has been transformed into a thriving hub for grassroots sport and youth engagement.
With over 140,000 visits since opening under the stewardship of Hampshire FA, it’s clear the community is embracing this space. From top-tier pitches to youth-friendly spaces and a welcoming café, KGV is helping young people find positive paths through sport and connection.
