The FS Cup is a one-day football tournament where the best of financial services can come together and bring out their inner Ronaldo along with a healthy dose of competition, all for an excellent cause.
The tournament will see sixty teams, each consisting of six players, facing off at the Goals football centre in Perry Barr on Wednesday 6th July.
The purpose built, FA accredited pitches are the perfect setting for armchair fans and aspiring superstar strikers alike to test their skills in the beautiful game, and teams will get the Premiership treatment by way of support from ex-professionals and Sky Sports personalities, as well as mortgage trade publications including Financial Reporter.
To top it off, all participants will be treated to a post-match barbeque to relive their hat tricks and perfect passes over a burger and some beer.
As well as raising money for the children’s charity WellChild, winners and runners-up will be awarded a cash prize to be donated to the charity of their choice.
The event is being sponsored by an array of lenders and brokers including Positive Lending and Precise Mortgages.
Last year, over £26,000 was raised by Front Events' annual Financial Services Race Day for Well Child.
James Prosser, Director of Front Events, commented:
"Following the success of our Financial Services Race Day which helps raise a staggering amount of money for WellChild, we've been looking forward to hosting more events into 2016 and beyond.
"The financial services community is known for its generosity and ability to support those events which seek to bring the industry together, particularly when it’s in aid of such a fantastic cause.
"We are therefore promising another wonderful day out for all those who attend the Financial Services Cup tournament in July and are sure that, as in previous years, there will be plenty of businesses and individuals who want to support an event which is new and exciting part of the financial services’ calendar.
“We’re really looking forward to our inaugural FS Cup, so dust off your football boots and we’ll see you there!”
Chris Fairfax, Managing Director of Positive Lending, added:
"I think the event will be a runaway success – I know loads of brokers who love football and would love even more to be crowned the best six-a-side team in Financial Services. What makes this event even better is that a lot of money will be raised for WellChild, an amazing charity that provides home care for seriously sick children across the UK. I’m really looking forward to getting together with industry colleagues to enjoy what will be a fantastic day of sport and competition with a benevolent and bighearted purpose."
