After kicking off the 2021/22 winter events in November, Business Fives continues with 20 qualifying events across throughout February and March ahead of the national finals in Scotland and England.
Over 1,000 goals were scored and more than £17,000 raised for local charities in 5 November events as the corporate football events returned to the pitch with events already starting to sell out up and down the country.
This winter season will see Business Fives hit an incredible milestone with over a quarter or a million pounds raised for charity. John McClarey, Founder of Business Fives said:
‘We are thrilled to be able to get back to the pitch safely after what has been a challenging period for our clients and the charities our events support. Seeing the players get back on the pitch has been a real buzz to watch and the events have been well supported as companies get back to live fundraising events. Excitement is definitely building in the run up to a busy start to 2022 with our highest ever charity prize pot up for grabs at our biggest series of events to date. ’
Business Fives will kickstart 2022 in Glasgow on Tuesday 1st February before returning once again for the Scotland national final on Thursday 7th April.
Business Fives will then make its debut in London on Thursday 3rd February for the first of two events in the capital before events in Bristol, Swindon, Edinburgh, Leeds, Newcastle, Aberdeen, Manchester, Liverpool, Tayside, Leicester, Birmingham, Bradford, Hull, Tees Valley, Forth Valley, Sheffield and Nottingham.
At each qualifier, the two finalists of the Champions League sections will secure themselves a qualifying spot for the national final alongside the winner of the Europa league sections.
The England national final is on Tuesday 5th April in Manchester where there is over £10,000 to be distributed to charity split between the various winners. With over £5,000 up for grabs at the Scotland final there is a lot to play for this winter.
Alongside qualifying spots, at each event there is an opportunity to bag yourself an individual prize based on outstanding performance – man of the match, female player of the tournament and top goal scorer.
Our Top Fundraiser award is always hotly contested off the pitch. This prize adds excitement to the day with amounts raised often quadrupling throughout the day from a final fundraising push.
