The United for All Charity Match returns!
First time ever to be held at...
Beautiful Downtown Bramall Lane!
ABOUT
That’s right. After a one year break, the United for All Charity Match returns on Saturday 25th May and we’re excited that for the first time ever it will be held at Bramall Lane.
​
To have the opportunity to move this event to the next level and hold it at a professional football ground is a huge moment. Sheffield United have always been very supportive of Rainbow Blades and this is another example of that.
​
The teams will be mixed gender & consist of Rainbow Blades and Allies, and the match will last a full 90 minutes! Think Soccer Aid, but BDTBL version… for some of our players, it will be their first time on a full size pitch.
​
The charity match is open to spectators as the club will have the South Stand open.
