The return of Tŷ Hafan Football Fives is set to unite businesses through a day of five-a-side football and fundraising.

The event, sponsored by V12 Retail Finance, will be held on September 26 at Gol, Lawrenny Avenue, Cardiff.

The day-long tournament features a round robin league, with teams vying for positions in the Champions League, Europa League and ECL stages.

This will be followed by knock-out phases leading to the finals.

Entry fee is £495 per team, with each team comprising a maximum of eight players.

Demand has been high with only nine remaining spots for teams.

Kelly Dibble, corporate fundraising manager for Tŷ Hafan Children’s Hospice, said: "The focus of Tŷ Hafan’s Football Fives is on bringing staff together and team-building.

"We work in a hybrid world these days and Tŷ Hafan’s Football Fives offers the opportunity of a great day out for you and your colleagues and all for a very worthy cause."

Last year, more than 20 teams from various businesses raised £12,000 for Tŷ Hafan.

Participants enjoyed post-tournament pizza and drinks, and were joined by football legend Joe Ledley for a Q&A session.

Principality Building Society was the 2023 champions and team member, Sam Palmer, said: "The Tŷ Hafan Football Fives event is an enjoyable day on and off the pitch and a great opportunity for Principality staff to mix with people from other businesses to raise money for such a worthwhile cause, whilst having a bit of a competitive edge.

"Tŷ Hafan has been one of our charity partners for the last few years and the event really helps to raise awareness."

Ms Dibble added: "And don’t worry if you don’t have your team sorted quite yet as we’ll be collecting all the players details closer to the time."
