Opportunities
Joining Team Forces will enable your organisation to support the armed forces community in a broad range of competitive sports, expeditions and inspiring adventurous challenges.
Members can also enjoy a broad range of engagement and marketing opportunities.
High-level sports fixtures are an excellent way to meet sports officials and our industry partners. Showcase events are regular sporting fixtures arranged through the sports associations. Examples are the annual inter-services T20 cricket at Lords and the annual Army v Navy rugby match at Twickenham.
Annual sports events are hosted by individual forces sports associations and typically include season launch cocktail parties and formal annual dinners attended by sports officials, sportsmen & women and sponsors
Charity fundraising events are held to celebrate landmark moments and offer sponsors the opportunity to both promote their brand and demonstrate their benevolence towards sport.
