Frequently Asked Questions
MAN v FAT is a UK-wide network of football and rugby clubs with a difference – each club is exclusively for men who are overweight and want to make a difference to their health.

If you’re a man and you’ve got a BMI of 27.5 or over, then yes! It doesn’t matter if you’ve not played sport or if you haven’t set foot on a pitch for 20 years, and it doesn’t matter if you get out of breath just going upstairs.
MAN v FAT is for all men who want to lose some weight, improve their fitness and have fun playing footie, and the best thing is that your teammates will all be in the same boat.
You’ll be placed in a team with other men who all share the same goal – to lose weight, get fit and have fun. Each player weighs in every week and your progress on the scale directly impacts your team’s score, meaning you get the chance to contribute both on and off the pitch.
You’ll be supported by a dedicated coach, will receive the MAN v FAT Player Handbook and will be able to access our exclusive online tools, including our popular MAN v FAT TALKS sessions – player-exclusive interactive webinars with weight loss and fitness experts. You’ll also get the opportunity to play in MAN v FAT’s national tournaments – a unique celebration of all things MAN v FAT.
