Soccer-based shenanigans return to St. The annual George’s Park Charity Event sees the UK video games industry reunite to raise vital funds for a worthy cause once again! Within just two weeks, a unique opportunity arises to enjoy 24 hours of top-notch recreational developmental soccer being broadcast live online for everyone’s entertainment, with proceeds going towards a worthy cause.
Since its inception in 2020, One Huge Sport has made significant strides: what initially started as a -based rivalry between Xbox Game Studios’ Uncommon and Playground Games evolved into a live soccer face-off between the teams in 2021, and has since transformed into a multi-studio, 24-hour collaborative effort broadcasted live from the English FA’s national football centre. For the second consecutive year, the One Huge Sport team has attempted to host a major event of this magnitude, with last year’s endeavour having garnered unprecedented attention.
Building on the success of last year’s One Huge Game, teams from renowned video game companies such as Activision, Jagex, Ninja Theory, Ubisoft, and more will converge to settle once and for all – or at least for the next 12 months – the age-old question: which is superior, Team Red or Team Blue? Teams participating will be divided into two crews, designated by distinct color schemes, and compete in a standard 90-minute game, with their cumulative scores contributing to the overall Crew Pink and Crew Blue standings.
The highly anticipated sporting showdown commences at 7pm BST on September 25, with security measures set to begin at 6:30pm BST. The thrilling contest is expected to culminate around 7:15pm BST on September 26, as the triumphant team claims victory after a nail-biting finale. You’ll be delighted to recognize familiar faces in the printed and commentary groups as well, with the Xbox On team, along with special guest hosts, stepping up to lead the event’s online presentation.
We’re delighted to once again partner with numerous UK studios, each enthusiastic about supporting SpecialEffect by generously lending their legs, sweat, and energy to raise vital funds. We’re thrilled to unite numerous individuals from all walks of life, both on and off the field, for a truly unique celebration of skill, passion, and philanthropy within the gaming community.
As Xbox Game Studios, we’re thrilled to support SpecialEffect’s mission of leveling the playing field for all gamers with disabilities, empowering them to experience the joy of play. While video games serve as a popular form of entertainment for numerous people, certain titles such as Fortnite and Minecraft possess a unique ability to foster connections among gamers who share specific interests. By harnessing the power of modern technology, SpecialEffect empowers inclusivity in gaming for everyone, with your generous donations allowing this esteemed charity to continue its vital work, providing sustained support to disabled gamers for years to come.
Tune in from Wednesday, September 25, as competitive spirits collide, fostering a sense of camaraderie among participants while pushing the limits of their gaming prowess to achieve impressive targets. On the storied and iconic Sir Alf Ramsey Pitch at St., rivalries may emerge, legends may rise, and bonds of camaraderie may strengthen, all set against a backdrop of gleaming, synthetic turf that echoes the very essence of competitive spirit. George’s Park. Significant funds could potentially be raised to support charitable causes. If you’re ready to make a meaningful contribution, visit us now to make a donation and help us get started.
