1. Pay per view

Host a World Cup game at your house (England v Iran on 21 November would be good) but charge a small entry fee and donate the funds to Open Doors. Crack out the snacks, drinks and show one of our Tackle Persecution vids (coming soon) before the game or at half time on this page to make sure your World Cup Party kicks off in style!

2. Sponsored soccer skills

Take on a sponsored football activity, such as:

• A seven-hour football match with friends, family and people from your church (Why seven hours? One for each team on the World Watch List at the World Cup)
• A keepy-uppy challenge involving 300 keepy-uppies a day throughout the tournament!

3. Five-a-side tournament

Host a five-a-side tournament one afternoon or evening during the World Cup (choose a break day so you don’t miss any games) and charge each player/team an entry fee. Give the proceeds to Open Doors to help fund vital work with Christians who are facing injustice and persecution.

Sweepstake

Hold a simple World Cup sweepstake and charge £3 per entry (that should generate £96!). The person who picks the winning team will be crowned champion and have bragging rights. You might want to use some of the takings as prize money (you can sort out the details) but some of it could be sent to Open Doors to keep tackling persecution.
