Football has an all-too-often unrecognised power to unite communities, break down social barriers and act as a genuine force for good.

The Last Stand – London's biggest street football tournament – is acting as a vanguard for the celebration of diversity and culture within London, using the tournament as a launching pad for the next wave of London's sports stars, musicians and dance artists.

The tournament, which featured six teams with six stories from different boroughs in London, took place in Kensington and Chelsea last weekend, minutes away from the tragedy that unfolded in Grenfell Tower last month.

Funds were raised for those families affected by the Grenfell fire, offering a reminder of how important grassroots sport can be to help and heal communities during difficult times.

While six teams battled it out to be the pride of London, familiar faces including Yannick Bolasie, Big Zuu and Troopz from ArsenalFanTV all stopped by to celebrate the power of sport and culture.

Here's what went down at The Last Stand.
