The EMEA NextGen Committee is excited to announce our first ever Football Tournament event!

We welcome you to join us for an exciting day of competition as we kick off our first-ever 5-a-side tournament. Each firm is invited to enter as many teams as they like in this inaugural event. With a maximum of 16 teams, priority will be given to diverse teams that include female representation and those who fundraise the most, reflecting the high demand for participation.

All players get free BBQ, and a round of drinks
Bar and food also open to spectators and we are doing a “Donate Your Drink” initiative on the night
Awards, trophies, and professional photographers for the teams who fundraise the most, winning team, and player of the tournament
Booking a bar nearby afterwards for spectators

Participation is free for teams, but we encourage fundraising through JustGiving for our chosen charity, Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH). To ensure maximum impact, we suggest a minimum fundraising amount of £250 per team. Get ready to showcase your skills on the pitch while supporting a great cause!

We are also excited to announce our FFA Cares initiative, "Donate your Drink" to help us reach our fundraising goal. Get ready to showcase your skills on the pitch while supporting a great cause!

Mark your calendars and get your teams ready for a day of competitive football and fundraising for GOSH. Together, let's make a difference through sport and generosity!

Team registration is now closed, as we have met capacity for the event.

Not playing? That's okay - we encourage spectators to come and support their teams and join for networking afterwards!
