In order to put the tournament on, we need to raise funds to cover pitch hire, travel, food and accommodation, marketing, security and other expenses. Once costs are covered, we will continue raising funds to reach our target of £250,000.00.

To achieve this, we will be seeking to raise funds through a variety of channels.

First and foremost, we need the support of individuals who have a link to the Armed Forces. Your donation can make a real difference to the lives of those who have served their country and are now struggling as a result of their service.

We will also be seeking sponsorship from corporate entities that support Veterans. If your business has signed the Armed Forces Covenant, what better what to showcase your support for ex-military personnel than joining us in highlighting the struggles of a small percentage of Veterans than supporting this great event?

We also hope to get support from many clubs in the Football League. The community outreach programmes can help us make this tournament a huge success.

Finally, Go Fund Me love the idea of this tournament so much, they have agreed to make us one of their headline fundraisers! We are enormously grateful to them for this and the media traction we hope to gain as a result.

Please give generously to this incredibly worthy cause.

The aim is to make the Warriors World Cup – Veterans United by the beautiful game a legacy event. This is just the first tournament, so please help us by shouting your support from the rooftops. Come and watch the tournament and see these eight nations battle it out to be the winners of the first ever Veterans World Cup.
