PRP wins Built World Cup at inaugural football tournament

Taking home the golden pineapple, made famous by The Pineapples awards, was PRP who took out the undefeated Quintain in the Championship semi-final to take their place as the first ever champions of the Built World Cup.

The Plate winners, GIA, were only bested by Populous before snagging the win from StuRents in the Plate final. Native Land took home the Vase trophy, stealing the win from tournament hosts, ING.

Other teams that tried their hand at victory were Max Fordham, Atrium, Maccreanor Lavington, Scape, FaulknerBrowns, Landsec, Buro Four, Cundall, Eckersley O’Callaghan, LocatED - Kajima, Eric Parry Architects, Bishopsgate Goodsyard and Civic Engineers.

The brainchild of James MacLeod and Tom Hawkins, the Built World Cup was made possible by The Crowd’s Louise Constantine who sponsored the event.

Teams donated £500 to play in the tournament and, with generous contribution from supporters, over £10,000 has been raised for RE:Ukraine. This money will provide vital funding for spaces to rehabilitate local communities in Vorzel, Ukraine. Donations will be allocated towards construction and engineering documentation to provide a smooth transition into the constructions stage of such a key centre.

Edd Kilvert, captain for the Eric Parry Architects team, says, “Our team thoroughly enjoyed the tournament and were delighted to help support such an important cause. We hope to see you there again next year!”
