The beautiful game meets the channel community on Thursday 21st May when Exclusive Networks hosts its annual Charity Football Tournament at Alton FC. With 30+ teams from across the partner and vendor ecosystem, it's shaping up to be the biggest yet, and there's still time to get your team in the game. Here's why you shouldn't sit this one out.

It's for a cause that really matters

Every penny raised goes to Treloar's — a charity providing outstanding education, therapy and care to physically disabled young people, empowering them to live more independent and fulfilling lives. Treloar Despite receiving baseline funding from local authorities, Treloar's must raise around £2 million every year to continue meeting all their students' needs and maintain the first-class service and education they deserve. Treloar's Your entry fee is a tangible contribution to something extraordinary happening right on the doorstep of the channel. 

Network with the people who matter
This isn't a webinar. It's a full day alongside peers, vendors and distributors from across the UK channel — the kind of face-time that doesn't happen in a Teams call. Whether you're nurturing existing relationships or meeting new contacts over lunch or a post-match brew, the connections you make here tend to stick. 

Give your brand a boost — without the big campaign budget 
Exclusive Networks run a substantial social media campaign around the tournament, starting several weeks before the event and continuing for a week or two afterwards. That's a sustained window of reach and visibility, with your participation and charitable commitment front and centre. Partners who join get to ride that wave — authentically, and with a good news story behind them.

Show your customers what you stand for
In a crowded market, values matter. Being able to say "we put a team in for charity" — and back it up with photos, posts and a bit of friendly tournament banter — is the kind of content that resonates with customers and prospects alike. It's human, it's real, and it reflects well on your business.

Your team deserves a great day out
Let's be honest — five-a-side football, fresh air, and a day out with colleagues beats another afternoon in the office. Team events like this pay dividends in morale and culture, and this one comes with the added bonus of knowing you've done something genuinely good.

Places are limited and the event is on 21st May. Register your team today and be part of what's become one of the highlights of the UK channel calendar.
