Play Football.
Tackle Unsafe Housing.

Manchester, 10 September 2026

We're back!

Returning for its fourth year, our Charity 5-a-Side Football Tournament is back for 2026 – and set to be our BIGGEST AND BEST YET!

Together with our charity partner, Shelter, we’re on a mission to raise awareness for families trapped in unfit living conditions and facing the harsh reality of homelessness.

On the day

Get ready for a day packed with football, fundraising, and fantastic memories. From the opening whistle to the final celebration, this year’s tournament promises plenty of action both on and off the pitch.

We’ll round off the competition with an awards ceremony, where champions, runners-up, and standout players will be recognised with trophies, prizes, and well-earned bragging rights. Expect special guests, great food, refreshing drinks, and an atmosphere to remember.

But the day doesn’t end there.

Once the final whistle blows, we’ll take the celebrations into town for our official afterparty. More food, more drinks, and more opportunities to celebrate a brilliant day with teammates, colleagues, and fellow supporters.

Spaces fill up fast, so don’t miss your chance to be part of our biggest tournament yet.

Proud to share a few words

A huge thank you to National Claims for their ongoing support of Shelter and for helping us tackle the housing emergency.

We’re thrilled that National Claims’ annual football tournament is running for its fourth year and that they’ve chosen Shelter as their Charity of the Year!

Funds raised during this tournament will play a vital role in Shelter’s work to defend and protect everyone’s right to a safe home and we want this year to be the biggest and best yet.

Look out for our Shelter team who will be lacing up their boots to join you on the pitch again this year. We can’t wait to tackle homelessness together, so sign your team up to be part of this brilliant day.

See you on the pitch!
