The SCIAF Shield

Football. Faith. Fundraising.

Put your faith into action and take part in the SCIAF Shield – our knock-out tournament that uses football to raise money for the world’s poorest people.  

Get ready for a day of fun, football, and fundraising. The SCIAF Shield is a 5-a-side tournament that brings together 16 teams for an exciting afternoon of community and sport - all in support of SCIAF's life-changing work overseas.

This year, funds raised by the SCIAF Shield will go towards our Emergency Hunger Appeal, to provide emergency food packages and help people grow more food in places devastated by floods and droughts in Africa.

How it works? 

With four groups of four teams, the tournament kicks off with a group stage, followed by a thrilling knockout round to crown the champions of the SCIAF Shield. Why not send a team to represent your Parish? 

Everyone, and all abilities, welcome!
