Our charities
The match will be the perfect finish to a bank holiday week, watching the next match-up between Students and Staff for the all-important trophy. The trophy is important for pride for the winning team, but the purpose of the event is to raise as much money for Charity as possible. Having raised over £67k during previous events. All funds raised this year will go towards two charities - Pompey in the Community and the Portsmouth Futures Fund. The fixture at Fratton Park can hold up to 2,000 spectators so we’re excited to get as many students, staff, friends, family and public at the match. The Victory lounge will be in full operation before, during and after the game with a full bar and hot snacks available. Get refreshed before walking out behind the goal at the famous Fratton End to enjoy the game.
