Lucozade Powerleague has announced the official opening of its new Wembley five-a-side football facility in London - the operator's 45th site to launch in the UK.

The 3-acre (1.2-hectare) venue is situated adjacent to Wembley Arena and includes six five-a-side pitches and one seven-a-side pitch - all of which are fully floodlit. Changing facilities and a sports bar are also among the facilities at the new Wembley centre, which forms part of Lucozade Powerleague's UK expansion plans.

Lucozade Powerleague chief executive Sean Tracey said: "The new Wembley centre is the latest part of Lucozade Powerleague's ongoing commitment to a programme of urban regeneration. "The new centre will boost the local economy by creating new jobs and we hope for the Wembley centre to become a hub for the community to gather, play a bit of football and then relax in the sports bar."
