'A unique opportunity to show the country once again how passionate Portsmouth is about its football.

Ours is a truly community bid and the buy-in of so many agencies was ***** in getting to this stage, I am certain.

Pompey is a football city like no other and this is a great opportunity to get even more people here playing the people's game.

The other cities shortlisted are Manchester and Nottingham. The shortlisted cities fought off competition from 22 cities bidding for the title, demonstrating a commitment to uniting public, private and voluntary organisations to do whatever it takes to get more people particularly those aged 14-25 years playing all forms of the grassroots game regularly.

Over the summer, the shortlisted cities will develop full proposals for how they will turn this commitment into a plan to get more people in their city playing the game regularly. Sport England will visit each city and work with the consortium to develop these plans.

In the autumn, the title
