MAN v FAT Football

Six-a-side football leagues for men with a BMI over 27.5, where your weight loss counts towards the score.

Who it's for
Men 18+ who want to lose weight.
Cost
Paid — a weekly or seasonal fee, varies by club.
Hours
Weekly, usually weekday evenings.

What actually happens

  • You get weighed in privately before kick-off.
  • You play a 30-minute match.
  • Goals scored on the pitch and pounds lost off it both add to the league table.
  • The changing-room chat is a large part of why men stay.
