Burton Albion 's incredibly popular Corporate Five-a-Side tournament is back for 2023 and businesses are being urged to sign up as soon as possible.

Eleven companies have already signed up for this season 's competition which allows teams to compete on the Pirelli Stadium pitch.

This year 's tournament takes place on Friday, 19 May and the cost for a team comprising eight players, a manager and an assistant manager is £850 plus VAT.

The event is sponsored by Russell Roof Tiles - who have entered a team in each of the past tournaments.

They also sponsor the East Stand at the Pirelli Stadium and are also the football club 's back-of-shirt partner.

Russell Roof Tiles is the largest independent manufacturer of concrete derivatives in the UK pitched roofing market.

Employing around 140 staff at three sites in Scotland and two in Burton on Trent, the firm is currently on a major recruitment drive at all of its sites to help deliver massive growth in demand.

Last season, 18 teams took part in the Corporate Five-a-Side which saw Anvil Hire take victory in the final.

The tournament gives teams the opportunity to play on the same pitch graced by Sergio Aguero, Aaron Webster, Sadio Mane, Jack Grealish and many more players in recent years. At least three games (60 minutes total) are guaranteed for all teams who enter.

Lunch will also be provided to all players, with a three-course meal, awards ceremony and entertainment in the evening.

Burton Albion chairman Ben Robinson (pictured) said: “Always a popular event, it is fantastic to be hosting our Corporate Five-a-Side tournament at the Pirelli Stadium again this year.

“I know just how much local businesses look forward to playing in this tournament each year - it 's a fantastic day at our stadium and is not to be missed.
