Merkur Casino’s charity football tournament raises £12,000
The event saw staff from sister company Regal Gaming Technologies lifting the men's trophy, while the Foleshill Women's team claimed the women's trophy.
A five-a-side football tournament organised by Merkur Casino has raised over £12,000 ($15,300) for the Merkur Initiative. This initiative supports various charities and good causes across the UK.
The event took place on Saturday 8 June at Tattenhoe Sports Pavilion and saw staff from sister company Regal Gaming Technologies lifting the men’s trophy, while the Foleshill Women’s team (representing the Midlands area) claimed the women’s trophy.
Both finals were competitive and saw matches go into extra time, with the women’s final ultimately being decided by penalties.
Regarding the event, Mark Schertle, Merkur Casino UK COO, stated: “It might not quite have been on the scale of the forthcoming Euros, but it was great to see so many of our business partners and employees come together for a fantastic afternoon of friendly football in aid of charity.
“We never anticipated raising anywhere near £12,000 – and our thanks go to everyone for their fantastic fundraising efforts and sheer generosity.”
