C4C at the World Cup (sort of)
A long time ago when the Premier League was still on break and the World Cup was raging on we made some tees for UK charity Street League, who had been invited to represent England in a special charity tournament being staged in South Africa.
The Football for Hope tournament ran alongside the World Cup and featured soccer-orientated charities from each of the participating nations also battling it out on the pitch.
Team leader Rachel Zipfel finally got in touch with some pictures and tales about the team’s time at the tournament…
“The South Africa trip and Football for Hope tournament was fantastic! The girls and guys had so much fun playing football and getting to know people from all over the world. It really was an experience of a lifetime!”
Coach Callum Simpson takes the team through some last minute tactics
Vicky rallies the troops

“All the teams had standardised kits given to them but no one had specially made t-shirts quite like us – we were the envy of many!”
Looking like a professional outfit in our C4C tees!
“I think the team came back to England feeling like celebrities after all the media attention and special treatment they received. It’s a long way down from the dizzy heights they reached so hopefully they’re adjusting to it slowly.”

Unlike the real England team, we came back with silverware!
“Thanks so much once again for providing the t-shirts for us – they really were great and a fantastic souvenir for the team to take home.”
