HOW THE LUCOZADE SPORTS PERFORMANCE LEAGUE WORKS!

The LSPL is a new virtual league where 80 amateur sides battle it out without ever needing to play each other. Each team's position is determined by the results achieved in their own amateur fixtures.



The better they perform in their own matches, the higher in the league they'll end up. Simple as that!



Helping them along the way is a Barclays Premier League club-style sponsorship package and the team crowned champions of the LSPL will win an exclusive pre-season trip to one of Europe's most prestigious training camps.

Every week this Match Results page will be updated with the most recent scores for the 80 LSPL teams. Be sure to keep a constant eye out for the big movers and shakers in the league - you'll soon be able to spot those teams consistently picking up three points and likewise those sides that are leaking too many goals at the back. It will also list out the scorers of each and every goal so you can always identify the in-form strikers. For more details on any particular team or player, click on a club's link to visit their Club Website.
