Kooxda Bloomsbury Football waa bulsho ciyaarta wax ka beddesha oo ay ka go'an tahay inay u adeegsadaan awoodda kubbadda cagta si ay wax uga beddelaan nolosha dhallinyarada London.
Guud ahaan doorarka gudaha iyo dibaddaba, dhammaan shaqaalaha Kubadda Cagta Bloomsbury waxay ku midaysan yihiin aragti guud: adduunyo kubbadda cagta loo isticmaalo in lagaga gudbo qaar ka mid ah caqabadaha ugu daran ee ay la kulmaan dhallinyarada bulshadeenna. Waxaan aaminsanahay in ciyaarta quruxda badan ay tahay wax ay tahay in la wada heli karo oo la shaqeeyo maalin kasta si loo hubiyo in aragtidani ay noqoto mid dhab ah.
Laga soo bilaabo 4 xubnood oo shaqaale ah oo ka shaqeeya qol yar oo hoose oo ku yaal Bloomsbury sanadka 2018 ilaa in ka badan 70 xubnood oo shaqaale ah 2023, Kubadda Cagta Bloomsbury waxay sii wadaysaa inay koraan markaan u bedelno ciyaarta dhalinyaro badan oo London ah.
