Celebrating England’s World Cup Journey with Our Clients & Partners

On Thursday 13 November 2025, BAND brought together clients and partners from across the sport, media and entertainment worlds for a special World Cup qualifier screening in Soho.

Hosted at the Karma Sanctum Hotel, just a short walk from Piccadilly Circus, the evening centred on the England v Serbia World Cup Qualifier – the perfect chance to celebrate England’s successful qualification in style.

Guests arrived to a private bar and screening room, with welcome drinks and time to connect before kick-off. As the game got underway, the atmosphere felt closer to a boutique sports hospitality box than a typical corporate event. A confident 2–0 win for England gave everyone exactly what they wanted: three points on the board and plenty to cheer about.

Beyond the football, this was about creating space for meaningful conversations. Clients from our Sport and entertainment portfolio, alongside agency founders and creative leaders, used the evening to swap stories, share ideas and build new connections away from day-to-day pressures. For us as advisors, accountants and business managers to the creative, media, sports and entertainment industries, it was a reminder that the best relationships are built off the pitch as well as on it. 

After the final whistle, guests enjoyed more food and drinks, a Q&A with former England players and a post-match DJ set that kept the room buzzing late into the night.

We’re grateful to everyone who joined us and to Karma Sanctum Hotel for being fantastic hosts. If you’d like to hear about future screenings and client events – or you’re a player, creator or business operating in sport, media or entertainment looking for joined-up financial and advisory support – get in touch.
