The Built World Cup 2026

In 2025, ING Media and The Developer came together to help the efforts to rebuild Ukraine by launching a charity 5-aside football tournament, The Built World Cup. Now it’s back for it’s second year with an expansion to 24 teams, meaning more football, more matches, and an even greater fundraising opportunity.    Teams from across property, architecture, construction and consultancy will go head-to-head to be crowned the UK’s best built environment football team at Shoreditch Powerleague on Friday 8 May 2026.    Following on from the success of last years event which raised over £10,000 for Re:Ukraine, funds and awareness will go towards Brave to Rebuild, a charity dedicated to the recovery of towns and villages across Ukraine.
