AS SEEN IN
MAN v FAT is a network of clubs for men who want to lose weight. Every player is in the same situation and wants the same thing – to lose weight, get healthier and enjoy football.
Each club’s league tables are decided not just on points won, but on pounds lost too. All players weigh in weekly before each game and their weight loss progress counts towards their team’s performance.
As well as the support of their teammates and club coach, all players get access to our online resources, inspiration, and support to help them reach their weight loss goals.
Whether it’s MAN v FAT Football or Rugby that’s being played, expect to play 28 minutes of the sport you love, with qualified officials.
