The Diabetes Football Community...
Cambridge United are dedicating this Saturday’s match to The Diabetes Football Community (TDFC), a not-for-profit organisation breaking down barriers for those living with type 1 diabetes.
TDFC empowers players and fans alike, demonstrating that diabetes doesn’t have to prevent anyone from enjoying the beautiful game.
Before the match, both squads of players will warm-up in special warm-up t-shirts featuring visual representations of key diabetes management devices – including a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) and an insulin pump - to promote awareness of how individuals living with diabetes adapt to and succeed in sport.
Volunteers from The Diabetes Football Community will also be fundraising around the ground, so please keep an eye out and help out if you can.
Homeless Football Tournament Medals...
On Saturday we are pleased to invite players and organisers of the Tommy McLafferty Cup - a football tournament for homeless people that took place back in September - to the Cledara Abbey Stadium.
Jointly organised by the Rotary Club of Cambridge South, Wintercomfort, It Takes A City, Jimmy’s and Cambridge Cyrenians, the annual tournament involved homeless people and volunteers connected with organisations working within the homeless sector in and around Cambridge.
Players from the tournament will take to the pitch at half-time to receive medals for their participation, in-front of the home crowd.
On Saturday we welcome Louis Clayden, Ned Clayden, Callum Jarvis, Jake Jarvis, Harry Norton, March Peel, Isabel Pettit and Joshua Pettit as our Mascots for the day!
We are also pleased to have AFC Balsham U9s as our Matchday Experience team, and Sutton and Mepal U12 boys as our Ball Crew for the afternoon.

Supporter Behaviour...
Cambridge United would like to remind its supporters that anti-social and criminal behaviours at football grounds across the country will result in serious sanctions.
Acts such as entering the pitch without permission, carrying or using smoke bombs or pyrotechnics and throwing objects - as well as drug use and discriminatory behaviour.
These acts are dangerous, illegal and have severe consequences. They have no place in football, or anywhere.
Report It...
Safety at the Cledara Abbey Stadium remains a key priority on a Matchday and should you witness anti-social or discriminatory behaviour, please speak to a steward, report it via the Club's anonymous reporting textline - 075224 73291 - or through our online Report an Incident page.
