Introduction
The ELE League is an amateur football league for children and young adults in East London and Essex. It was founded in 1998 by Joe Long and former QPR player Peter Hucker.
The league currently runs teams from Under 7s to Under 16/17s. All games are played at the same venue each week, which makes it convenient for players and parents.
The ELE League is endorsed by former England international Rio Ferdinand.
