The Khalsa Football Academy have been promoting football in Stevenage and North Herts for the past two decades.
This year, the KFA will start their official celebrations with a festival which includes a fixture against a celebrity team as well as a PANA knockout league.
To celebrate the 20 years, KFA have numerous initiatives lined up from this July for the following 12 months.
The KFA started back in 1988 in a direct attempt to get more Asian players playing organised football in Stevenage and North Herts.
KFA spokesman Bal Singh said: "The key to the organisation's success has been a clear plan with realistic aims and objectives.
"The aim of the celebrity match and future 20-year celebration initiatives is to invite local business to support the KFA.
