North London United is a football team with only a small difference.

All the players have Down's Syndrome and the team, which has a tagline of "where we have that little extra" due to the genetic condition resulting from an extra chromosome 21, will try to secure its future this Sunday.

Supported by organisation Krome 21 and Arsenal FC, the players are attempting to raise £21,000 by completing 21 laps (13km) of the Emirates stadium.

As well as honing their skills in weekly football activity sessions at the Arsenal Hub, players aged between five and 30 are encouraged to meet new people, make friends and grow in confidence.
