toob embarks on sponsorship for Walking Football programme

toob is joining in partnership with Hampshire FA to become the official Headline Sponsors of the club’s Walking Football programme, which will offer a diverse range of opportunities for the company.

The football programme, led by Kel Crook and Rory Bentley, will allow the altnet provider to help with sponsorship of the new Walking Football Cup Competition, from walking football coffee & cake catch-ups, tournaments, and competitions, to recreational sessions and more as hosted by Hampshire FA. 

Since its inception, the Walking Football programme has grown exponentially with 47 affiliated teams and around 2,000 registered players taking part.

Neil Cassar, CEO at Hampshire FA said: “As one of the fastest growing formats of the game, the opportunities are vast and varied. Just last season, we introduced a walking football cup competition due to the growth of the game in the county.

“With toob’s support, our delivery team will now be able to offer more opportunities to engage members in our recreational and competitive activities. By hosting the coffee and catch-ups, these will provide a casual and informal introduction to the game for the consideration of all participants, both new to the game or experienced.”

Nick Parbutt, toob Founder and CEO said: “As a company, we know just how important it is to keep people connected. The Hampshire FA and the walking football programme gives people the opportunity to physically meet and connect, building friendships and a sense of community.

“We are supporting not only Hampshire FA but also grassroots football clubs across the region and the wider football community it serves.”
