Chiapas CF are an amateur charity football club based in Chiapas, Mexico. The club play friendly fixtures to raise funds for the Chiapas Peace House project.
Our team is available to play friendly matches against opponents of all ages and ability levels. We can draw on a range of ex professional and even international footballers in order to particpate in more competitive games. At the same time, we have many amateur and part time players who are happy to play against lower ranked opponents. All we ask is that the proceeds of the match are donated to the Peace House project, once all relevant costs have been deducted.
Chiapas will play in 11-a-side or 5-a-side fixtures. We are prepared to travel to play at your home ground or a neutral ground of your choosing, providing travel costs are met and deducted from the proceeds of the match. Our teams can play in tournaments or one off exhibition games.
So whether you fancy a kick around, or you want to test your skills against some household names, we want to hear from you. Read the guide on how to organize a charity football match, then contact us to discuss your fixture requirements and our player availability. Your team could be the next to line up against the Chiapas All Stars!
Our underlying aim is to raise funds to support the Peace House foundation and we use football as our way of doing that. Our teams are made up of volunteers who give their time in order to help our cause. In the past we have had some well known former players in our squads. Whilst we cannot guarantee the availability of any player for a particular fixture, we always try to bring along at least one or two familiar faces.
For example, a recent match against a team from Ghana Soccernet featured a former international footballer, who is now spokesperson for a major mobile app company! You never know who is going to turn up.
When you apply for a fixture against one of our teams, we need to know that funding is in place in order to pay for any relevant expenses (for example travel, accommodation, ground hire, stewarding) plus a minimum donation to the charity. This outlay can all be recouped in a number of ways, for example:
- Ticket sales or match sponsorship. The old fashioned matchday reveue stream.
- Taking bets on the match (providing this is allowed in the territory where the match is being played). We can advise on setting up odds markets and on creating attractive betting offers to incentivise participation. This can often be the best method due to the popularity of online betting.
- Broadcasting rights. This can be done in several ways such as via live TV channels or radio, or even online live streaming or a webcast.
