Right To Play UK held its ninth annual Sports Quiz on Wednesday 26 November 2025 at Nobu Hotel in London, raising over £350,000 to help transform the lives of children in our global programmes – our highest ever fundraising total!

The event was once again generously supported by Flutter International and brought together teams from many of London’s leading private equity and finance firms, all competing for the iconic Sports Quiz trophy. The quiz was expertly hosted by our brilliant quizmaster, John Inverdale.

A huge well done to TreasurySpring, champions of the 2025 Sports Quiz! Competition was intense throughout the evening, with lively bidding, challenging quiz rounds and exceptional food creating a fantastic atmosphere. The night also shone a spotlight on the power of play and the vital impact our programmes are making on vulnerable children worldwide.

We can’t wait to see you all again next year!”

Our sincere thanks to everyone who made this event possible, including our sponsor Flutter International, our volunteer Sports Quiz Committee, as well as all the competing teams who supported our work.
