Introducing the Republic Europe Summer Kickoff with AFC Wimbledon! ⚽

https://europe.republic.com/insights/summer-kickoff

In 2019, AFC Wimbledon raised £2.3m from over 5,000 investors to help them get back to their home, Plough Lane. Now, after completing their 4th raise on our platform, and getting back into League 1, for the first time ever, they’re handing the keys to you for the ultimate pitch takeover.

We are bringing together our community of founders, investors, and enthusiasts for an epic afternoon of football and networking.

Have you ever dreamed of walking out of the tunnel and onto a professional pitch? This is your moment. You’ll be playing at Plough Lane alongside:

Real match-day officials to keep the game fierce and fair.
Industry titans from the sport and investment worlds.
(And don’t worry, a highly qualified physio on standby just in case! 👀 )

Whether you’re looking to score the winning goal or talk strategy on the sidelines, we'd love you to come along. Bring the kids, friends and the family for a Half-Term afternoon out. There will be plenty of time for photos on the pitch for everyone (including the kids)!

And for those that would like to play, we also have a select number of player slots reserved. So, if you want to lace up your boots - please fill out the form below 👇.
