Goalball UK is delighted to welcome Sports Insure as the official sponsor of our prestigious Shield and Intermediate Trophy competitions. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in our journey to elevate the sport and provide enhanced opportunities for players at all levels.

The Importance of the Shield and Intermediate Trophy:

For those new to the Goalball UK community, the Shield and Intermediate Trophy competitions are cornerstones of our domestic calendar. They serve as crucial platforms for emerging talent, fostering competitive spirit, and promoting the growth of goalball across the UK. These tournaments are not just about winning; they’re about building community, developing skills, and showcasing the determination of our players.

Sports Insure’s commitment to supporting these vital competitions is a testament to their dedication to inclusivity and accessibility in sports. We are incredibly grateful to Sports Insure for recognising the unique value of goalball and for their investment in our players’ futures. Their support underscores the importance of creating opportunities for people with visual impairments to thrive in sports.

Dawn Luby, client management director at Sports Insure said:
“Our vast experience of working with national governing bodies, sports players, athletes, coaches, team owners, and sports leagues, has provided Sport Insure with a front row seat to the many benefits that come with participating in sport. When the opportunity arose to support Goalball UK and help it reach more of the two million people in the UK with total or partial sight and provide them with more opportunities to participate in sport, we were keen to get involved. Through the collaboration we’re aiming to help raise awareness and see more people play and watch the sport.”

Mark Winder, CEO Goalball UK said:

“With Sports Insure by our side, we are excited to witness the positive impact this partnership will have on the Shield and Intermediate Trophy competitions. We look forward to seeing the players shine, the community grow stronger, and the sport reach new heights. We extend a heartfelt thank you to Sports Insure for their generous support and for joining us on this exciting journey.”
