About the event
Since 2019, Sheffield Rainbow Laces & Rainbow Blades have come along way and we are revamping how the Charity Cup runs and making it better then ever!
The Sheffield Rainbow Laces Charity Cup is jointly supported by Sheffield Rainbow Laces, Rainbow Blades & Sheffield United Community Foundation.
This event is a mixed gendered 11 a side football match held at Olympic Legacy Park. The Olympic Legacy Park has undergone a multimillion pound transformation and is a great location to get this event back up and going. This event is open to anyone to sign up as a player. This year it will be mixed gendered and the rules will specifically set out how many male and female players should be on the pitch at anyone time. Basically, think Soccer Aid.
In collaboration with Sheffield United Community Foundation this event will have a full matchday feel and include spectators, food & drink, music, trophy presentation as well as much more. Please keep an eye on our social media channels for all the updates.
The event is fully inclusive and open to all players, all genders and sexual orientations, all abilities.

As well as raising awareness for LGBTQ+ inclusion in football we are also raising funds for our charity partner, SAYiT.
We also want to make clear even though this match is for an important campaign it is all a bit of fun and should be played in the right spirit.
