Young disadvantaged people from across the Midlands will have the opportunity to meet and train with former Wolverhampton Wanderers manager and Aston Villa player Dean Saunders later today.

The StreetGames Football Pools Fives programme will take place at the Birmingham Futsal Centre later this afternoon.

16 - 25 year olds from disadvantaged areas of Birmingham will have the chance to play in a 5-a-side team which could go on to compete in the National Final at The FA's national football centre at St George's Park.

The programme, endorsed by the FA, is in its second year and allows young people the chance to train with professionals as well as volunteer and coach.
