Soccer and team building - how can they benefit your company?

We've all heard a colleague say that he or she can't wait to get the day's work over with so that they can relax on the sofa or meet up with friends at the bar to watch a soccer match. Office discussions between colleagues after important soccer matches focus on the result, the performance of the players and the general atmosphere of the match. Regardless of how we choose to enjoy a soccer match, one thing is clear - this subject affects a large number of people, and even if we don't follow a sporting competition closely, it's almost impossible not to know (even unintentionally) the results of an important match, as was the case in 2018 when the French team won the World Cup, after an impressive match.

After the French team's victory, tens of thousands of people gathered on the Champs Elysées to celebrate. This human tide, as it was described, contributed to an enormous moment of collective happiness. “You see nothing but smiles, people who didn't know each other an hour ago fraternizing”, said a journalist present among the supporters.

The key word to remember, as a company director or HR manager, is fraternity. If soccer has the power to fraternize strangers, imagine its power on the relationship of people who already know each other and collaborate at work. So you see - it's high time to start using soccer as a unifying tool for your company!

Depending on the particularities of your teams, you may choose to organize a soccer tournament in your company. Chances are, however, that most of your employees won't be up for the game.
