An inter-company football league on a full grass pitch across several weeks: fixtures, referees, medical cover, a league table and a final week.
A corporate football league is an organisation spread across weeks in which company teams meet 11-a-side on a full-size grass pitch. What separates it from the five-a-side format is not only the number of players: a full pitch demands markedly more running per player and a wider squad.
A league is structurally local. It runs weekly, at the same hour on the same pitch, over months — so the people playing in it have to live here. This is a programme for your Turkey operation: employees at a Turkish site competing against the companies around them. If you are planning something for a team flying into Turkey, a one-day tournament is the format that works; a league is not.
In the 11-a-side format a team needs a squad of 16 to 18 to progress healthily. Participation in corporate leagues varies week to week with workload; teams that start with a narrow squad usually turn up short after the third week and run the risk of forfeits. The fixture is therefore built with a reserve week for every team.
It works best where several companies in the same industrial zone, office district or city take part; the same structure can also be used for a league between departments of a single company. For a single company with fewer than 200 employees the 11-a-side format is demanding in squad terms — at that scale a five-a-side league is more realistic.
Throughout the competition, occupational health and safety (OHS) standards are rigorously enforced. Matches are hosted exclusively in professional athletic facilities featuring shock-absorbing flooring, climate control, and certified lighting. To eliminate workplace disputes, all games are officiated by independent, licensed federation referees and official scoring table judges. A certified on-site emergency first-aid responder is stationed throughout all fixtures, with health clearance forms systematically verified.
Tournament structures adapt to your headcount. For teams of 20–50 participants, intensive single-day corporate cup formats build high-energy camaraderie. For enterprises of 100–500+ employees, season leagues spanning multiple weeks sustain cross-departmental engagement. Spectator cheering awards, halftime skill challenges, and weekly internal newsletter recaps ensure comprehensive inclusion.
All tournaments are delivered under our official TÜRSAB Group A-12558 licensed travel agency accreditation with transparent corporate contracts. Upon providing your team size, target location, and preferred calendar, we deliver your official line-item RFP proposal within 24 hours. Direct corporate billing in USD, EUR, or TRY is supported for multinational procurement desks.
It depends on the number of teams. A six-team single-round league runs five weeks, a double round ten. With eight to ten teams a single round takes seven to nine weeks. Because attendance drops noticeably in corporate formats beyond ten weeks, most leagues are built as a single round plus play-offs.
The lower limit is four teams; below that the fixture produces no meaningful competition. The upper limit depends on pitch and slot capacity — two or three matches can be played per week on one pitch, so leagues above eight teams need a second pitch or a second day.
This is the fundamental rule of a corporate league and it is checked. Payroll employees and subcontractor staff who have worked on site for a defined period are accepted; bringing in outside players is strictly against the rules. The verification method is agreed with all teams before the league starts.
A first aid officer is on site and an ambulance access plan is ready before every match. Serious cases are referred to the nearest medical facility. Personal accident insurance cover can be included in the organisation; this is agreed separately when the league is set up.
Yes. Mixed squads are permitted and are used in many corporate leagues. On request a mixed rule requiring at least one woman on the pitch for each team can be defined; it comes into force before the league starts with the agreement of all teams.
