We don't just love watching football, we love to play it too! Staff from SI play in multiple different teams on a weekly basis ranging from 5-aside lunchtime leagues (The SI A and C Teams) to full blown 11 a-side Sunday league football.
Below are a selection of these different teams.
Below are a selection of these different teams.
SI A Team
The Sports Interactive A-team is the company's premier 6-a-side team and has previously featured appearances from the legend that is Ray Houghton. Having dropped into the 2nd tier of the league, the team now competes on Thursday lunchtimes.
SI B Team
Having competed under various guises in recent seasons, the B-team is back under its rightful name for the 2012 season and currently sits in the 3rd tier of the league, playing on Friday lunchtimes.
SI C Team
The most recently established of the 6-a-side teams, the C-team embarks on its inaugural season in 2012 starting from the bottom rung of the league and competing on Tuesday lunchtimes.
FC To Madeira
Tó Madeira is the name of a mythical footballer who crept his way into a past Sports Interactive title and went on to gain cult status among fans. In 2011 a bunch of SI staff past and present deemed it fitting to establish a Sunday League football team in his name and honour - hoping to bring the same joy, talent and swashbuckling adventure to their fans as Tó so famously did, all the while actually existing.
Hoxton Casuals
Formed in 1998, Hoxton Casuals are a Sunday league team that compete in the Thames League. They were set-up with the involvement of some of SI's now veteran employees, whilst many of these have since retired from the game several others have come through to keep the SI representation with the side alive.
