About Us

​

Welcome to Match of the Dads. We are a group of fathers based in Norwich,  Norfolk, UK who meet most Monday evenings for a game of 5 a side football in our dedicated 'Match of the Dads' league.

It Is played at the F.D.C in Bowthorpe.

​

Starting in April 2017, 12 local Dads from Norwich got together to have a kick about and let off some steam.

​

We now have over 100 dads involved in a 10 team FA affiliated league, Playing 3 matches every Monday.

Due to all the success we have recently been awarded the Norfolk FA 2019 Grassroots Project of the Year.

​

So If you'd like to get involved don't hesitate to contact us to find out more.

​

Match of the Dads has earned its positive reputation because we go out of our way to provide truly exceptional experience both on and off the pitch.

​

Recently Match of the Dads featured in the EDP and EDP24 - 

We are delighted to announce that Deliveroo are our primary shirt sponsor for 2019/20 season.

Deliveroo - Official Takeaway Partner of Match of the Dads.

The aim of the group is to enable Dads to take a breather from time to time and recharge their fatherhood batteries, whilst also making new friends and partaking in a physical activity.

 

It's no secret how much life changes once you become a parent but we believe it's also important to remember yourself as an individual, particularly in light of the sharp increase in male mental health issues and tragic suicide rates.

​

As part of Match of the Dads, we raised money - a charity focused on male mental health and male suicide prevention.

​

We have already raised 100s of pounds for Calmzone and we hope to raise more and more each year.

​

As well as local press we have had some national press from the BBC.
