Highlighting XLFC's founding club and its recent nomination for "Club of the year" at the 2024 Reading Sports Awards.
This week the 2024 Reading Sports Awards took place at the Hilton Hotel, where a host of amazing clubs and people were honoured for their ongoing contributions to sport in Reading.
2024 has been an outstanding year for XLFC and its first-ever club in Reading. From just 19 players at its launch in July 2022, the club has grown to nearly 50 players across two teams, with even more expected. Reading XL FC continues to welcome men of all shapes and sizes from across Berkshire, offering structured strength and conditioning sessions, organized 11-a-side football, and a strong sense of camaraderie among like-minded players united by their love for "the beautiful game."
As members advance in their weight-loss journeys, they can compete in matches against similar clubs nationwide, enjoying numerous additional benefits as part of their membership.
Reading XL FC is proud to have been nominated for "Club of the Year." While not shortlisted for the final award, the entire club takes immense pride in its accomplishments in 2024 as part of the ever-growing XLFC family.
XLFC Co-Founder Tom Giles said:
I am incredibly proud of everything we have achieved at Reading XL FC in such a short time. To be nominated for something as prestigious as "Club of the Year" at the Reading Sports Awards in our very first year is a true testament to the dedication and passion of everyone involved in our club. This recognition highlights the positive impact we’re making, not only on the pitch but in the lives of our players and our community. It’s an absolute honour to be considered alongside so many other inspiring local sports organisations. A huge congratulations from everyone at XLFC to everyone nominated and all of the eventual winners.
