Who Are G5 Sports Events?
G5 Sports Events was created with one simple goal: to deliver unforgettable experiences that celebrate everything we love about Powerchair Football and the incredible people at the heart of the sport.
For more than ten years, Chris and Niamh have worked closely with the Powerchair Football community through G5 Sports Services, building trust as the UK and European distributor of the Strike Force powerchair.
Having experienced tournaments across Europe, America and Australia, they understand that international football is about far more than the matches themselves.
It is about friendships formed, experiences shared and memories created along the way.
Our own experiences of travelling with a disability, organising accessible accommodation and managing complex sporting logistics have shaped every decision behind the festival.
From the hotel and playing venue to transport, catering, entertainment and the smaller details throughout the week, everything has been carefully considered to create an event designed specifically for the Powerchair Football community.
No one represents that approach better than Brad Bates, whose creativity, dedication and countless hours of work have been instrumental in shaping the event.
From the branding, graphics and media content to the event booklet and dedicated festival website, Brad's work can be seen throughout almost every aspect of G5 Festival Brugge.
We are also proud to work with talented people from within the community, including Dylan Kelsall and DJK Media, who will capture the festival through photography, videography and drone footage, and Eythan Galloway, who has produced our bespoke medals and trophies through his 3D-printing expertise.
Above all, we want this festival to mean far more than the results on the court.
We want it to be a place where confidence grows, friendships are formed and memories are made that last far beyond the final whistle.
Every detail has been planned with one aim in mind: More Football. More Fun.
This festival would not be possible without the volunteers, officials, sponsors, partners and supporters who have given their time, expertise and encouragement to help turn the vision into reality.
Whether you are attending as a player, family member, carer, volunteer, official, sponsor or supporter, this event exists because of you.
This event exists because of you, was created by you, and ultimately belongs to you.
We hope you have an incredible week. Chris & Niamh
