History

The P4S Challenge Cup began in Autumn 2017 with an 8-team football tournament at St George's Park. Since then demand has dictated that it has expanded to include further dates at SGP, an extra venue in Bisham Abbey National Sports Centre, more teams, more age-groups and more sports and genders!

The tournament is now one of the most prestigious school football events in the UK, with teams from all over the country competing for the title.

The knockout stages are played on a single-elimination basis, with the winners of each match progressing to the next round. The final is played on day two, with the winning team being crowned P4S Challenge Cup champions.
