A shopping centre in Dorset is launching a month-long celebration of sport.
The Dolphin in Poole will host a series of summer community events throughout June to mark the FIFA World Cup 2026 and the 2026 Wimbledon Championships.
As part of the activities, it has partnered with Poole’s indoor football centre, FTY Lab, to run a Fast Feet competition.
The event invites people of all ages to score as many goals as possible in one minute inside an interactive training ring.

The Dolphin will also replay World Cup matches from the previous night on its big screen from 10am throughout the tournament.
The 2026 Wimbledon Championships will be screened in-centre from June 29 to July 12.
