On 5th July Baller FC will kick off a summer of football and community at The Carlton Club in Whalley Range, Manchester.

The grassroots collective is launching Topbins & Party, a series of free, inclusive Women’s Euros 2025 events celebrating England and Wales games.

Created to challenge the sidelining of women’s football, Baller FC transforms match screenings into festival-style parties full of energy, music and food.

Every England and Wales match will be shown across four indoor and outdoor screens at the venue.

Each event features live performances, including Manchester-based brass duo Shezelle, plus DJs from Rain on Me FC (ROM FC) and Baller FC’s Soccermom crew.

Street food, multiple bars and a welcoming, queer-friendly crowd will bring the atmosphere to every whistle.

After each match, fans can keep the party going with themed afterparties curated by Baller FC and ROM FC.

Tickets are free and are available via Baller FC’s website.

The Carlton Club events are designed to be inclusive and accessible, with support from Greater Manchester’s women’s, trans, non-binary and mixed football communities.

"We’re building something special with Baller FC," said Evan Woodall, events coordinator at The Carlton Club.

"Last year was huge, and with the energy of ROM FC and the inclusivity Baller FC brings, this summer will be even bigger."

Rachel Gould, founder of Baller FC, added: "We want everyone in Manchester to feel welcome and seen during the tournament."
