About

With the FAs introduction of small sided games, the East London & Essex Junior Football league launched in 1998, co founded by Joe Long & former QPR player Peter Hucker.

Initially launched as a 7Aside League the ELE League progressed into 11Aside games in 2000, known as the league with a difference as all League and Cup Fixtures are played from the same venue each week of the football season.

Currently operating and running Leagues from Under 7s through to Under 15/16s based at Wanstead Flats.

The concept of the League makes Junior Football hassle free for all involved, providing one venue, neutral officials, fixtures, governance & management along with training and coach development.
