2026 Built World Cup Champions crowned

Last year’s champions, PRP, were knocked out of the Plate quarter‑final by Native Land, who were then defeated 5–4 by FaulknerBrowns. After making the Championship semi‑final in 2025 but finishing without silverware, FaulknerBrowns came back this year to lift the Plate trophy.

Meanwhile, tournament hosts ING took home the Vase trophy in a 4 – 0 take down of Maccreanor Lavington. ING lost out on taking the trophy home last year by one point.

And looking to take a career change from redevelopment to football, Bishopsgate Goodsyard proved unbeatable as they won all eight games to take home the Championship trophy. They beat out Populous 3 - 2 in the championship final. 

Nicola Zech-Behrens, Ballymore and captain of the Bishopsgate Goodsyard team syas that: “We are delighted to have won this high-profile tournament in support of the Brave to Rebuild charity. Winning on home turf at the Bishopsgate Goodsyard site made the occasion even more special, especially after our group-stage exit against our very own architects Eric Parry Architect last year.”

84 matches were completed across one afternoon as the other 21 teams tried their hand at victory. The other teams involved were Max Fordham, Buro Four, Momentum Transport, Civic, Mount Anvil, Cundall, Eckersley O’Callaghan, Octopus Capital, Eric Parry Architects, GIA, Quintain, HTA Design, Ridge, Kajima, Scape, Landsec and StuRents.

Each team donated £500 to play in the tournament with players and supporters raising £11,311.53 total. This will go towards the fit out of a shelter for a school for disabled children in Bucha. The money will enable Brave to Rebuild to build facilities including toilets and furniture , allowing the children to continue their schooling safely, even when there is the threat of further attacks.

"Because of your generosity, children there will be able to return to in-person learning and stay safe when air raid sirens sound," says Alyona Krytsuk, Co-Founder & Director, Brave to Rebuild. "The Built World Cup brought together people who chose to spend their Friday running after a ball for someone else’s sake - and that is a rare and powerful thing. We are deeply grateful to every player, organiser, sponsor, and supporter who made this possible. Thank you for standing with Ukraine and for helping us rebuild places where children can learn, feel safe, and look ahead." 

The brainchild of James MacLeod and Tom Hawkins, the Built World Cup was made possible by The Crowd’s Louise Constantine and hosts The Goodsyard who sponsored the event.
