The PurpleHUB
City of Liverpool will run a sports complex and playing fields, open to the entire community
City of Liverpool’s PurpleHUB @ King George V

FOUR years after City of Liverpool FC played their first game, the club have announced one of their biggest social and community projects to date, and one of the most significant of its kind to be run by a football club in Liverpool.

Today, the club revealed that they have taken over the running of the King George V (KGV) sports complex and playing fields in Huyton, with the day-to-day operation being managed by the club’s community arm, COLFC in the Community.

This will provide the City of Liverpool FC with another base for their community work — to be known as the PurpleHUB @ King George V.
