The Secta January Tournament
One day, company teams from across London, one trophy. Enter a single team and start the year with something better than a dry January.
The short answer
Is there a football tournament in London my company can enter?
Yes. Secta's January tournament is a one-day football tournament for company teams in London. Your company enters one team of six to ten, plays a group stage and knockouts against other London companies, and competes for the trophy. Secta runs the venue, referees and fixtures. Register interest to get the date and entry details first.

January is the month most teams need a reason to get out of the office together. A one-day tournament gives them one: a fixed date, a group to get through, and a trophy at the end of the afternoon.
It is built for companies that want competition without committing to a season. Enter one team, play other London companies, and see how you measure up. Players of every level take part, and games are refereed so they stay competitive without getting silly.

“Every company in London should be involved with Secta leagues. The games are always well organised and they provide top quality facilities. Plus it's been a great way of getting people from across the business together.”

“Having to organise events in a big agency is a nightmare. Secta removed these stresses and all we had to do was turn up. Couldn't recommend more.”
