Uppies is a colloquial term primarily used in the United Kingdom, particularly in the North of England, to refer to a type of traditional street football game played in certain towns and villages during Shrove Tuesday or Easter Monday. The game involves two teams, known as uppies and downies, who compete against each other to either take the ball to a specified goal area or keep it away from their respective goals.
The uppies team aims to carry the ball towards their goal area by any means necessary, even through the crowded streets, while the downies try to prevent the uppies from scoring by pushing the ball towards their goal. The game typically entails rough and physical play, with a large number of players participating in a fiercely contested match that often involves pushing, shoving, and wrestling.
Although the rules of uppies can vary slightly from town to town, the game generally promotes camaraderie and community spirit. It is often viewed as a traditional sporting spectacle and is deeply rooted in the historical and cultural traditions of the areas where it is played.
Uppies is seen as a cherished local tradition and attracts a significant number of participants and spectators every year. The game has been played for generations, passing down from one community to the next, and continues to be a popular and celebrated event in certain parts of the United Kingdom.
