A staggering 30,000 participants and 2500 teams took part in the First Round of the five-a-side mass-participation tournament in February - assembling across more than 100 venues around the country.
Those hopefuls were whittled down to 300 teams across the various age-based male and female categories, which also featured disability, veterans and walking competitions, for the regional semi-finals.
The Finals then took place in Manchester in May where the various winners were crowned and subsequently presented with their trophies at Wembley Stadium during the half-time break of The FA Cup Final.
And with the First Round of the 2016 People’s Cup starting in January, the aim is to go one better this time and increase the participation further.
Free registration is now open, with ten categories covering Adult Male, Adult Female, U16 Boys, U16 Girls, U14 Boys, U14 Girls, Male Veterans, Female Veterans, Walking Football (Over 50s & mixed) and Disability.
So register your team, or even yourself as an individual and make sure you're involved when the action kicks-off in 2016.
