Sports betting exchange Matchbook has signed up as the first sponsor of the Plate Trophy at the upcoming 2015 Right To Play World Cup corporate charity football tournament in London.
The Matchbook Trophy will be handed to one of the teams at the tournament at Chelsea FC’s Stamford Bridge stadium on Wednesday, June 3.
The tournament will feature 24 teams of up to 12 players each competing in five-a-side and then seven-a-side group games before an 11-a-side final.
The Right To Play World Cup raises money for weekly sports and play activities for children throughout the world, teaching youngsters essential life skills that help them to overcome the effects of poverty, conflict and disease.
“Through our sponsorship, we are supporting 1,000 extra children taking part in Right To Play programmes twice a week for a whole year,” said Danielle Desroches, senior campaign manager at Matchbook.
“Every day at Matchbook we strive to deliver the best betting experience to our community of sports lovers, by committing to our goal of giving you more,” Desroches added.
“On June 3, through our support of the Right To Play World Cup, we want to give more to those who need it most.”
