The AFROSOCAL club meet once a month to socialise in different activities across the country. This month it is being held in the Pollen Club, Manchester, to compete in a padel tournament. Taking it back to where it was founded.
AFROSOCIAL is club for people of African heritage to meet and socialise doing different activities, usually around 5 or 6 times a month. This week they have decide a padel tournament for the group would be the best idea. They will gather at the Pollen Club today at 4pm until 6pm for a small tournament of people of all skill levels.
Founded by David Chipfupa and a friend of his in 2024, they wanted to a create a community where people could meet without going to a nightclub or religious gathering. David was also working remotely in technology sales, although his work flexible, it became increasingly isolating.
It started as a small initiative but over time it has become something which has approximately 4000 members. Impressively, something which began in Manchester as a small place for people of the same heritage to gather together has reached an international stage, with it having events in countries like Australia, The United states and South Africa.
If you want to participate in the event it will cost between £11-£22 and to apply go to the AFROSOCIAL Manchester Padel Social Eventbrite Page or the Manchester Padel Social Fatsoma Listing.
