Charity Football Events

Football is not only a well loved and social sport to play, it can also be a fantastic way to raise money for a great cause. Whether you play, watch or are a top fan of football, there are many ways you can get involved and support your community and causes. If you’re hosting a charity football match and want other ways to get donations or maybe matches aren’t quite your thing then hopefully our alternative ideas will give you some inspiration on how to get the most out of football fundraising.

Ways to Raise Money 

Although a charity football match is the most popular way to raise money for charity, there are other fun and creative ways to raise funds for your chosen cause. 

• Charity football match - An exciting way to collect funds for all! We’ve put together a guide to help you organise your charity football match, so be sure to check it out!
• A raffle - Many local businesses may be keen to give a freebie or two away to help raise funds for your chosen charity. This also helps promote their brand, so they’re often willing to take part! 
• Crossbar challenge - If football matches aren’t your thing then maybe holding a crossbar challenge is for you! This could take place at half-time or after a football match or even as it’s own event, as this allows everyone to get involved!
• Football marathon - If you’re feeling ambitious, why not hold a football marathon? See how many hours your club can play for!
• Charity Football Quiz - Ask a local venue if you can host a charity quiz, because who doesn’t love a quiz right? Or you can always resort to Zoom and have a virtual quiz. Just get participants to donate and have fun!
• Walk/run/cycle/swim between certain landmarks - An increasingly popular method of raising money is getting members of the public to participate in going from one destination to another in some challenging form. A great example could be from your local football club to their rivals e.g. Huddersfield to Leeds!
