Why should you sponsor?

Our events & facilty is perfect for almost every band who is looking to increase in sales, brand awareness, etc for the following reasons:

Future Generations. As our tournaments host all of the top teams from around the world you are able to expose these players to your brands so over the years they are more accustomed to your products. For example G form shin pads show their products to the players from a yopung age as they know once players are comfortable and have habits they are not often broken. Past players from our U16 tournaments are still using thier products to this day making thier debuts in the premier league.

Influenecers. As these players are often the best in thier school & social circle they have a big following (some of the players as young as 9 have a tiktok / instragram following of 30k - 500k). Brands can often use this as the players post stories / videos from the event going around the stalls trying products and this usually results in a spike on online sales of various products which the players have been trying out at our events.

Target Audience. All of our users both at events and week to week have a heavy interest in sport and active / healthy lifestyles so this makes a perfect target market for companies looking to promote this lifestyle whether it be a  supliment, protein bar, clothing items etc and these items can be sold at our events and in our shop every evening of the week.

Time spent on site. At events spectators and teams spend typically 6-7 hours per day on site meaning there is plenty of oppertunities to expand your current market by having conversations, showing off your products & selling to people from all over the UK and world. We welcome stalls on site who provide demonstrations etc and (with prior agreement from us) can film content with the players from these top sides using your products.

Our Company, Pro Academy Tournaments, have been organising events all over the world for the past 20 years. We started off by taking college programs all around Europe for education experiences and since have grown each year.

We now organise international travel and tournaments for the academies of some of the best teams around the world and regularly work with the following clubs; Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Juentuvs, AC Milan, PSV, Newcastle United, Aston Villa, etc.

What started as only taking UK clubs into Europe has since as expanded as with lots of European clubs coming to us wanting to travel to the UK we have now purchased our own purpose built facility in Stevenage (20 minute train from central london) for northern and European clubs to use when traveling to London. 

We also organise Pre season & Mid season training camps for lots of profesisonal clubs and are already sourcing pre season training camps for the 2024/2025 season for Luton Town, Sunderland & Arsenal ladies.
