WOMEN'S EURO 2025: 5 STARS TO WATCH OUT FOR

<h1 style="text-align: center;">FIVE STARS TO WATCH OUT FOR AT THE UEFA WOMEN'S EURO™ 2025</h1>
 
<h4 style="text-align: center;">The countdown is on for the UEFA Women's Euro 2025, kicking off this summer in Switzerland on Wednesday 2nd July. 16 of Europe's best national teams will go head-to-head for continental glory in what promises to be one of the most competitive tournaments to date.</h4>
 
Can England defend their crown after their historic win in 2022? Will Spain, the reigning world champions, continue their dominance on the European stage? Or could a resurgent side like Sweden or the Netherlands rise to the occasion and make a statement?
One thing is certain - it’s the Euros, and anything can happen.
The stage is set for Europe's brightest stars to shine as they battle it out for a place in the final on July 27th. From seasoned champions to emerging young talents, here are five players you won’t want to miss this summer:
Sandy Baltimore First on the list is France’s Sandy Baltimore. The electric winger made a big move from PSG to Chelsea in 2024 and has quickly become one of the most exciting attacking threats in the Women’s Super League.
Known for her lightning pace, technical flair, and versatility down the left, Baltimore has the rare ability to take on defenders at will and unlock even the tightest defences.  The 25-year-old was instrumental in Chelsea’s domestic treble and invincible season, notably in their 2024 FA Cup win, scoring twice in the final and providing an assist. As France look to claim their first-ever major women’s title, all eyes will be on Baltimore to provide the creative spark that could take Les Bleues all the way in Switzerland this summer.
 
Aitana Bonmatí
Next is Aitana Bonmatí, the heartbeat of Spain’s midfield and one of the most decorated players in women’s football today. A two-time Ballon d’Or Féminin winner, Bonmatí was central to Spain’s 2023 World Cup triumph and has continued to dominate the European stage with Barcelona.
Her intelligence on the ball, press-resistance, and precise passing make her the perfect midfield general and a game defining player.
With Spain now the reigning world champions, the 27-year-old will be aiming to complete a historic double and guide La Roja to their first-ever European title.
 
Alexia Putellas
No list of stars to watch at Euro 2025 would be complete without Alexia Putellas. Widely regarded as one of the greatest players in the history of the women’s game, the Spanish midfielder has been the face of her country’s rise to international dominance over the past five years.
Another two-time Ballon d’Or Féminin winner, Putellas captained both Barcelona and Spain to major silverware before an ACL injury sidelined her just before the 2022 Euros. Now fully fit, she’s returned to top form and reclaimed her place as a leader both on and off the pitch.
Renowned for her composure, passing range, and goal-scoring ability from midfield, the 31-year-old adds experience and balance to a Spain squad brimming with younger talent. With the 2023 World Cup and Nations League already under her belt, she now has her eyes set on completing the trophy set with a European title.
Back healthy, back hungry, and backed by a world-class team, Alexia Putellas is ready to make history in Switzerland.
 
Vivianne Miedema
Another one to look out for, Vivianne Miedema of the Netherlands remains one of the most feared strikers in the world. Now at Manchester City after her high-profile move from Arsenal, the 28-year-old has returned to top form following injury setbacks.
She’s the all-time top scorer for both the Netherlands and the WSL, and her intelligence, vision, and goal-scoring instincts are unmatched. Miedema plays the game at her own tempo, dropping deep to link play or finding space to finish clinically.
If the Netherlands are to repeat their Euro 2017 heroics, Miedema’s experience and sharpness will be at the heart of it.
 
Alessia Russo
Last, but not least, one player England fans will be pinning their hopes on is Alessia Russo. The Arsenal striker has become the Lionesses’ focal point since Euro 2022, where she lit up the tournament with four goals - most memorably, a stunning back-heel against Sweden in the semi-final.
Russo is a complete number nine. Strong, mobile, clinical and her movement in the box is second to none. After a stellar club season with Arsenal, where she was joint WSL Golden Boot winner and guided them to European glory, she enters the tournament in peak form.
With key veterans like Mary Earps and Mille Bright retired, 26-year-old Russo is now one of England’s leaders and will be crucial if they are to retain their crown.

GOALS JOINS THE CIRCUIT

<h2 style="text-align: center;">GOALS JOINS THE CIRCUIT TO HELP SAVE LIVES IN LOCAL COMMUNITIES</h2>
 
GOALS have taken another big step in putting player and community safety first by joining <a rel="noopener" href="https://thecircuit.uk/" target="_blank">The Circuit</a> – the National Defibrillator Network. This means that every GOALS club’s defibrillator is now registered with emergency services, helping to save lives in critical situations.
With cardiac arrests a real and serious risk in football and beyond, having immediate access to a defibrillator can mean the difference between life and death. By joining The Circuit, we’re making sure that if someone in the local community suffers a cardiac arrest, 999 call handlers can direct people to the nearest GOALS defibrillator, increasing the chances of survival before paramedics arrive.
At GOALS, we’ve always put safety at the heart of the game:
<ul>
<li data-start="811" data-end="1035">All 43 clubs have a defibrillator on-site</li>
<li data-start="811" data-end="1035">All staff are First Aid trained</li>
<li data-start="811" data-end="1035">All managers have enhanced First Aid and Defibrillator training</li>
</ul>
David Newland, General Manager at <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.goalsfootball.co.uk/our-clubs/south-east/tolworth" target="_blank">Goals Tolworth</a> headed this project and has been instrumental in ensuring the successful registration of all 43 club defibrillators. David commented on the project:
<blockquote>"Having been involved in two separate incidents where a defib has had to be used at GOALS, I've witnessed first-hand how important they are in potentially saving someone's life. Having all GOALS clubs registered on The Circuit, means we are playing a crucial role within our local communities."</blockquote>
By working together with the <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.bhf.org.uk/" target="_blank">British Heart Foundation</a>, we’re making sure that our facilities aren’t just for football, but for protecting lives in the wider community. At GOALS, we've committed to raising life-saving funds and creating awareness in support of the British Heart Foundation. So far, we have raised almost £30,000 for the charity through various fundraising activities at clubs and within our Head Office.

Platinum Trusted Service Award 2025 Social 1X1

GOALS Goes Platinum For Third Year Running

<h3 style="text-align: left;">GOALS receives the Feefo Platinum Trusted Service Award 2025</h3>
1ST FEBRUARY 2025, GOALS has won the Feefo Platinum Trusted Service Award, an independent seal of excellence, which recognises businesses that consistently deliver a world-class customer experience.
Feefo established the Trusted Service Awards in 2014 to recognise brands that use the platform to collect verified reviews and receive exceptional feedback from their customers. The awards are unique because they truly reflect a business's dedication to providing outstanding customer service by analysing feedback from real customers.
Working with over 6,500 brands, Feefo is the world's largest provider of verified reviews, helping both brands and consumers make better decisions, and enabling brands to deliver more personalised experiences.   
Consumer confidence <a href="https://www.deloitte.com/uk/en/Industries/consumer/research/consumer-tracker.html">continues to grow slowly</a> back to pre-pandemic levels, but consumers remain cautious with their spending. The businesses that stand out will be those who put excellence in their service and weave in a customer advocacy strategy. This award celebrates brands that are delivering standards that go above and beyond.
Feefo has presented Platinum Trusted Service Awards to businesses that have achieved Gold standard for three consecutive years. To receive a Gold Trusted Service Award, businesses must have collected at least 50 reviews with a Feefo service rating of between 4.5 and 5 between 1st January 2024 and 31st December 2024.
Chris McColl, Customer Services Manager at GOALS said:
"2024 was a big year at GOALS as we continued to deliver great customer service whilst also making product enhancements. With nearly 2000 reviews, 85% of which rated 5 stars, and an average customer rating of 4.7 out of 5, it shows we have listened to what our customers want, resulting in gaining the Feefo Platinum Trusted Service award for the third year in a row! Our 43 clubs across the UK go above and beyond to offer a fantastic customer experience, coupled with our Customer Services team - we are delivering both on and off the pitch. On behalf of GOALS and my team, we are ecstatic and humbled to be recognised again with this amazing award."
Tony Wheble, CEO at Feefo, congratulated the winners: “During these economically challenging times, it's inspiring to see companies like GOALS consistently going above and beyond for their customers. The Trusted Service Awards recognise businesses that don't just meet expectations – they exceed them. These awards celebrate companies that gather genuine feedback and use it to deliver exceptional customer experiences. The dedication shown by this year's winners sets a benchmark for customer service excellence.”

What is small-sided football?

By Elly Langmuir, Marketing Partner
 
Small-sided football is like the little sibling of the traditional 11-a-side football match. It’s the same game you know and love but with fewer players, a smaller pitch, and usually shorter games. You’ve most likely heard of 5-a-side, 6-a-side, and 7-a-side football - the small-sided game has gained massive popularity worldwide due to its accessibility, fast pace, and suitability for players of all ages and skill levels.
GOALS is your local small-sided football club. Our dedication to the game allows equal opportunities to access premium 5-a-side, 6-a-side, 7-a-side, and 8-a-side football facilities promoting physical and mental well-being and community spirit through football. With over 400 pitches across 43 locations in the UK offering casual pitch hire, Block Bookings, and Leagues – we ensure your experience is straight from the top drawer.
 
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/media/p1zhrhx3/copa4.jpg?rmode=max&amp;width=443&amp;height=295" alt="5-a-side team celebrating their small-sided win." width="443" height="295">
 
We have the 5-a-side, 6-a-side, 7-a-side, and 8-a-side pitches covered, boasting our premium, all-weather artificial turf, ProTurf, exclusive to GOALS. In addition to our all-weather playable pitch surface, most of our pitches are fully enclosed with LED floodlights meaning the game never stops, even on those wet winter nights. Your venue is sorted with pitches available to book over the phone, on our app, in person, or on our website. All you need to do to get involved in small-sided football at GOALS is: 1) Decide which format of the beautiful game you prefer from 5-a-side to 8-a-side. Teams usually consist of 5 to 8 players, including a goalkeeper. With fewer players on the pitch, you’re guaranteed more action and involvement in a fast-paced game. 2) Pull your squad together. You may want to field 10 players to make up 2 teams competing in a casual 5-a-side booking at GOALS, or draft 5-8 players to join our competitive 5-a-side Leagues. 3) Lock in your booking!
 
Now you know what’s involved, let’s dive into why you might choose to get involved in the small-sided game:
<ul>
<li>Small Pitches - The pitch is significantly smaller than a full-size football field. The condensed space demands quick decision-making and constant moving.  </li>
<li>Shorter Game Time - Matches are generally shorter, making it easier to fit into your busy schedule.  </li>
<li>Fitness - The informal nature of 5-a-side football makes it a highly enjoyable way to stay fit and active. Researchers from the Department of Exercise and Sport Sciences at the University of Copenhagen found that the average player runs over 3 miles per game, burning up to 800 calories in an hour. Read more about their findings <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.menshealth.com/uk/fitness/lifestyle/a746542/game-on-for-five-a-side-footie-344584/" target="_blank">here</a>. </li>
<li>Accessibility and Inclusivity - Small-sided football is less physically demanding than the full 11-a-side version, making it accessible to a broader range of participants, including children, older adults, and those new to the sport. The smaller teams also mean it’s easier to organise a game, even with fewer players. </li>
<li>Well-being and Mental Health - Football has been proven to bring your mental state of mind to an optimal state; this is a feeling you experience when you're fully focused, engaged, motivated, and happy in whatever activity you're taking part in. </li>
<li>Fun and Socialisation - 5-a-side is often played in a more relaxed atmosphere, fostering social interaction and community spirit. Many local leagues and recreational groups use small-sided football as a way to bring people together.</li>
</ul>
 
 
Hopefully, you have a good idea of what the beautiful game is and how you can get involved. But, see below some frequently asked questions we hear about all things football and fitness:
<ol>
<li>What is small-sided football? Small-sided football is any football format that has fewer then 11 players per side, such as 5-a-side, 7-a-side, 8-a-side, or 9-a-side.  </li>
<li>What are the rules for small-sided football? There are many "laws" that should be considered when playing football. You can read a full list of rules, backed by The FA <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.thefa.com/football-rules-governance/lawsandrules/laws/football-5-5/appendix-a" target="_blank">here</a>.  </li>
<li>How do I join a small-sided football league? Make contact with GOALS online, over the phone, or in-person to find out the details for your local League availability.  </li>
<li>Can small-sided football really improve my mental health? Absolutely! Football has not only proven results for your physical health, but also your mental well-being. Read more about studies gathered on this <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.5-a-side.com/fitness/the-physical-and-mental-benefits-of-5-a-side/" target="_blank">here</a>. </li>
</ol>
 
Whether you’re looking to improve your football abilities, stay fit, or simply have fun with friends, small-sided football has something to offer. So, lace up your boots, grab a ball, and get ready to experience the excitement of the beautiful game!

"Tolworth, Wimbledon and Sutton will now have all of our leagues affiliated to Surrey FA and we plan for all clubs in Surrey to become referee hubs for Surrey Referees.

"We will also offer discounts for Surrey FA affiliated teams and work with SFA to significantly increase all participation with a real drive to increase female participation at our clubs.
"Recently, just at our Surrey GOALS clubs, we have spent over £200,000 on improving pitches and facilities at these venues and we will also be installing a brand new full-size ProTurf pitch early in 2025. 
"We have created a fantastic roadmap that we believe will be a gamechanger for football in Surrey.”

To now create this forward-thinking partnership and see it formalized is very exciting.

"It was great to work with Kirk from Surrey FA and see first-hand his and SFA enthusiasm to work with us to grow the game. 
"We have invested heavily recently in clubs within my region, improving the function and bar areas, and upgrading the pitch surface and surroundings, I am really looking forward to all Surrey FA participants enjoying our facilities.”

GOALS x SUFFOLK FA: Female-Only Hour

GOALS x SUFFOLK FA: Female-Only Hour

<h2>FEMALE-ONLY HOUR OFFERING AT GOALS</h2>
SUFFOLK FA have teamed up with GOALS Ipswich to offer a female-only hour. 
These opportunities will include Weetabix Wildcats, Squad Girls and Snickers Just Play, being offered as turn-up and play sessions, all being delivered from their state-of-the-art football pitches.
Suffolk FA Women and Girls Football Development Officer Isabel Chaplin said: “GOALS Ipswich is an important central club for many girls and women. This collaboration will enable new and current females to get involved in football.”
The Female-Only Hour will launch on June 13th, just before the UEFA Euros begin, with sessions taking place between 5pm and 6pm on Thursday evenings, with the first session FREE.
Martin Cassidy, GOALS National Football Development Manager, said: “As the famous quote goes, ‘Give a girl the right pair of shoes and she can conquer the world’, we want to do just that and more.
This is a pilot as part of our national ‘Grow the Game’ strategy and our EDI strategy therefore, it’s very important for us as a national stake holder in football, to ensure that everyone, including girls, have the right venue and the right support that will help in breaking down barriers that may exist for girls kicking a ball and enjoying the game.
 The female game is on a huge growth curve in the 11-a-side game however, in the small-sided game, that growth curve has not manifested itself. We will do all we can to make that growth curve happen in the small-sided game.
 With the help from Suffolk FA and other County FAs who partner with us, we believe we can have a significant positive impact on the national female game by giving female-only access to our facilities at agreed times.
With future plans for small-sided female-only leagues at every one of our 43 clubs already in development, this is an exciting time for female football across the nation and it starts at GOALS in Ipswich. Our GOALS are your goals.”
To support the new Girls Only Hour, GOALS Ipswich are looking for partner clubs who have access to female coaches to assist with the sessions and are looking to feed into their own female provision from participants at the GOALS Ipswich run Wildcats and Squad Girls Sessions.
GOALS Ipswich will support current and prospective female coaches who want to get involved through in house training and through the FA Fully Funded Places Programme*

<h1 style="text-align: center;">PLAY IT. WATCH IT. LIVE IT. A Celebration of Football, Fun, and Unforgettable Moments </h1>
As the final whistle blows on Euro 2024, we look back on a tournament that was nothing short of spectacular. From stunning goals to dramatic penalty shootouts, it’s been a rollercoaster of emotions that’s united nations and sparked endless debates in pubs, living rooms, and, of course, in our very own clubhouses. With 43 clubs across the UK; 3 in Scotland and the other 40 in England, there was plenty of friendly rivalry going on behind closed GOALS clubhouse doors! Let’s dive into the highlights, the heartaches, and the unforgettable moments that made Euro 2024 a tournament to remember.

Every tournament has its standout stars, Euro 2024 was no different. Emerging talents and seasoned veterans alike dazzled us with their skills and sportsmanship. From the young prodigy, Lamine Yamal who made a name for himself, and Cristiano Ronaldo leading Portugal with unmatched passion, gave us performances we'll be talking about for years. And, who could forget Jude Bellingham, with his stunning late overhead kick equaliser! Every match brought a new story, a new hero, and another reason to gather to celebrate the beautiful game.

 England's journey to the Euro 2024 final was marked by strong performances and resilience. They kickstarted with a win against Serbia but then drew against Denmark and Slovenia. Followed by a memorable win against Slovakia and a draw against Switzerland, which went to penalties. We saw a dramatic win against the Netherlands in the semi-finals with a last-minute goal from Ollie Watkins taking them 2-1, highlighting the teams nerve and skill. Despite their spirited efforts, England ultimately fell short against Spain in the final, just four minutes before time. However, their impressive run solidified their place among Europe's elite teams and inspired their fans for future success. 
Let’s not forget the real MVPs of Euro 2024 – the fans. Even those who couldn’t be there in person for the big games found ways to join the celebration. It’s this sense of community and shared passion that makes football more than just a game – it’s a way of life. Albeit a short stint, Scotland fans highlighted their passion and brought energy to the German cities, showing other nations that without them, there is no party. "No Scotland, No Party" was heard ringing out for weeks.
Beyond the goals and the glory, Euro 2024 was a reminder of football’s unique power to bring people together. GOALS hosted watch parties, themed local tournaments, launched food and drink packages, special offers, and giveaways.

 Hundreds of you joined in on the fun by playing our Euro Score Predictor game. We offered prizes for the top ten score predictors with the top prize equating to £500! Huge congratulations to Kieran for following the tournament with us and bagging himself the top score predictor winning a trip to Germany for him and a friend. Daniel took second place, earning a £150 Amazon gift voucher. Whilst Paul, Neil, and Leon scored our 3rd-5th place prizes from <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.goalsfootball.co.uk/goals-plus" target="_blank">GOALS[+]</a> partners, Mystery Jersey King and five others secured 5th-10th place winnings of a £10 Amazon gift voucher.
I'm sure we all agree, the tournament showcased the best of what football can offer. And, although England didn't manage to bring it home, it’s about more than just winning; it’s about the friendships forged, the unforgettable moments shared, and the joy of being part of something bigger!
So, why not keep the spirit of Euro 2024 alive? From casual games to competitive Leagues, we’re here to make sure the fun never stops. Find your local GOALS club and get involved <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.goalsfootball.co.uk/our-clubs" target="_blank">here</a>.

British Heart Foundation: Fundraising Review

By Elly Langmuir, Marketing Partner
<hr>
<h1 style="text-align: center;">British Heart Foundation: Fundraising Review</h1>
 
<h3>Why the British Heart Foundation?</h3>
In recent years, we’ve seen an increase in the usage of our defibrillators, and having the British Heart Foundation as our charity partner, we can educate our staff, players, and partners on the importance of living a healthy and happy life. We are proud to have staff who are trained in both First Aid and Defibrillator use in all 43 clubs.
Working alongside the British Heart Foundation we're aiming to raise £75,000.  
<h3>Fundraising Recap</h3>
Our 43 clubs, including our Head Office, have been busy taking part in various activities in a bid to raise as much as possible for the British Heart Foundation with over £14,000 raised so far. This is a huge achievement and wouldn't have been achievable without everyone doing their bit to contribute to this life-saving cause. 
Fundraising efforts that have taken place are pub quizzes, tournaments, raffles, marathons, football club testimonial year dedications, and quiz mornings, to name a few.
Join us as we recognise individuals who have gone the extra mile (quite literally!) by committing to the cause, in their own time recently.
<h3> Goals Glasgow West </h3>
Caitlin Cox, Assistant Manager, completed The Glasgow Kiltwalk in April raising a total of £250! Caitlin is no stranger to running. She's been training hard to continue her fundraising stride for the British Heart Foundation alongside General Manager, Toni-Louise Norrie as they've committed to a 10K run in August, and a Half Marathon in October.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/media/20yj5bin/caitlin-ggw.jpg?rmode=max&amp;width=250&amp;height=332" alt="" width="250" height="332">
 
<h3>Goals Norwich</h3>
Kirk Nattrass, General Manager, joined 20,000 other cyclists in May as he took part in the RideLondon-Essex 100. The 100-mile long bike ride started at Victoria Embankment in London, finishing across Tower Bridge after looping through Essex. Kirk completed the cycle in 7 hours and 18 minutes, raising an incredible £400 for the British Heart Foundation. 
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/media/lkxpl42p/norwich.jpg?rmode=max&amp;width=345&amp;height=259" alt="" width="345" height="259"> 
 
<h3>Goals Manchester</h3>
Nicole Johnston, General Manager, completed her first ever Half Marathon at the Great Manchester Run in May. Nicole made comments on how she enjoyed the route as she ran past Manchester City FC's Etihad Stadium, and Manchester United's Old Trafford Stadium. She was delighted to finish the run in just 2 hours and 24 minutes and raised £220 for a fantastic cause. 
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/media/mqtd4o3b/nicole-mnc.jpg?rmode=max&amp;width=248&amp;height=332" alt="" width="248" height="332"> 
 
<h3>Head Office</h3>
Marcus Strudwick, National Learning &amp; Development Manager, ran The Glasgow 10K last weekend in support of the British Heart Foundation. It seems the encouragement from his dog, Margot, on the sidelines motivated him to finish the run in an impressive 47.5 minutes! Next on the cards for Marcus (and Margot) is the Glasgow Half Marathon in October.  <img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/media/1bbn4jrn/marcus.jpg?rmode=max&amp;width=301&amp;height=401" alt="" width="301" height="401">

The England 6-a-side team to be based at GOALS

GOALS are delighted to announce that they'll be the home of elite 5, 6 and 7-a-side football for the foreseeable future.
The England 6-a-side team will be based at GOALS Heathrow and will begin their preparations at GOALS Heathrow on Sunday March 17th for their appearance in the EMF Euros in Sarajevo this coming June 2024.
This partnership is perfectly timed to give the team the best opportunity to build on their record-breaking performance at the 6-a-side World Cup in the UAE in 2023.
England will play in a purpose built 6-a-side Stadium in Sarajevo in June and all of their games will be televised across the world.
GOALS will be giving our loyal customers an opportunity to take part in trials to play for England and represent their country at these international competitions, the games are planned to be screened live across all GOALS venues giving family and friends of our teams the opportunity see them play on live on TV.
 <a href="https://www.goalsfootball.co.uk/about-us/mission-statement">Mission Statement (goalsfootball.co.uk)</a>
GBMFU President, Mark Staines said:
“This partnership is great for GBMFU, great for the England 6-a-side team and great for small-sided football in this country."
GOALS are the largest small-sided football operator in the UK, if not the world, with 43 spectacular clubs all across the country. So, for us to be able to take elite level 5, 6, and 7-a-side to their clubs, it’s going to be huge for everyone involved. It’s going to provide amazing opportunities for players across all GOALS' clubs to have a chance to be selected to play for their country in a World Cup or Euros.
The partnership with GOALS gives us access to tens of thousands of their players, which can only make the national team even stronger.
We’re hoping to be able to announce more amazing opportunities soon for GOALS players and teams, which will see them be given the chance to compete in elite level international club competitions against some of the best nations."
Martin Cassidy, GOALS National Football Development Officer said
 “As a leader in the small-sided game, GOALS recognise that we have some very talented players and teams who play weekly across our estate. These teams and players have not been given the opportunity to test themselves against the best in the country as well as the best in the world. Now, with GOALS they can, plus have the chance to appear live on TV all around the globe.
Elite 5, 6, and 7-a-side is huge across the world with millions of players and millions of viewers watching these competitions on TV. I believe elite small-sided football is a sleeping giant here in the UK and we are determined to give our loyal customers amazing opportunities to play on TV, in stadiums and give amateur players a professional experience.
These international competitions are sanctioned by The European Minifootball Federation and The World Minifootball Federation who are recognised by most of the world’s National Federations as the leading authority in the small-sided game.
The EMF, WMF, GBMFU and our strategies are all aligned with the English FA’s and UEFA’s strategy to grow the amateur game and give grassroots players unique and life changing opportunities."

An update into the GOALS x British Heart Foundation partnership fundraising efforts from Head Office to individual club activity.

British Heart Foundation: Fundraising Update

By Elly Langmuir, Marketing Partner - 5th March 2024
<hr>
<h1 style="text-align: center;">British Heart Foundation: Fundraising Update</h1>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">Partnership Recap</h3>
In recent years, we’ve seen an increase in the usage of our defibrillators, and having the British Heart Foundation as our charity partner, we can educate our staff, players, and partners on the importance of living a healthy and happy life. We are proud to have staff who are trained in both First Aid and Defibrillator use in all 43 clubs.
Working alongside the British Heart Foundation we're aiming to raise £75,000 over the next 3 years. 
"Having a charity partner is a first for GOALS and personally I cannot think of a better partner than the British Heart Foundation, we are both committed to improving the nation’s health and fitness and there is no better way to do this than by exercising regularly." - Ian McDermott, Managing Director of Goals 
<h3>Heart Month </h3>
Heart Month took place in February, marking a dedicated month to raise awareness of heart or circulatory health. Heart Month provides an opportunity to both educate and fundraise for vital funds to go towards the lifesaving research carried out by the British Heart Foundation. 
Our own Corrie Kane-Thom and Marcus Strudwick, members of GOALS' fundraising committee were recently invited along to the British Heart Foundation lab, located in Glasgow to see first-hand where a huge proportion of the 75K Goals has pledged to raise for the charity will be going. 
"We were blown away by the work that's been done and a lot of it relies on donations from organisations like GOALS." - Marcus Strudwick, Learning &amp; Development Manager of GOALS

Reputation’s 800 Award for Best-In-Class Brand Reputation

<h2>GOALS Receives Reputation’s 800 Award for Best-In-Class Brand Reputation </h2>
GOALS has been recognised by <a href="https://reputation.com/">Reputation</a>, a global leader in reputation performance management, with its 800 Award.
A top recognition for location-level businesses with best-in-class brand reputation, Reputation’s 800 Award highlights organisations that go above and beyond in delivering on brand promise by listening to and acting on feedback from their consumers.
Locations that win the 800 Award consistently, collect, analyse and apply consumer feedback, utilising it to make data-driven decisions. GOALS had 28 locations recognised with the 2024 800 Award.
Chris McColl, GOALS' Customer Service Manager commented: “We are absolutely delighted to receive 28 ‘The 800 Awards’ from Reputation. Delivering first-class customer service and keeping our customers happy is something we are very passionate about here at GOALS. So, the fact we have 28 clubs achieving such a high customer service score means so much. With Reputation only handing out this award to 57 venues in the whole of Europe, it’s unbelievable GOALS received 28 of these!  The award reflects how hard our staff work to listen to our customers and go above and beyond for them. At GOALS, we always strive to deliver more and as we fly into 2024 we will continue to raise the bar and provide a service our customers will be ecstatic with.”
To determine 800 Award honorees, Reputation pulls a list of the Reputation Scores for every business location on the Reputation platform. Those honored will have achieved a score of 800 or higher due to their focus on high customer satisfaction throughout the past year.
Liz Carter, Reputation’s Chief Marketing Officer says: “In a world where consumers are making purchasing decisions based on what they see and hear in their local communities and online, delivering on brand performance is more important than ever.
