Overview
MAN v FAT Football provide 14 week, small sided football leagues designed to support overweight men to improve their physical and mental health. Launched in 2016 by male weight loss specialists, MAN v FAT appeals to men who love football and hate being fat. The coach weighs each player before their game and players earn bonus goals for their weight loss, so the league is decided not only on points won but pounds lost. The programme has grown across the UK, and has endorsements from the FA and Sport England. We now have over 150 clubs across the UK.
