There’s a reason why football is called ‘the beautiful game’ here in the UK, as the sport has the capacity to bring communities together while cheering for a shared outcome.
It won’t come as a shock to many that sport teams play an important role on MBA programmes – giving participants an activity to bond, problem-solve, make connections, and have a little bit of fun in the process too.
London Business School (LBS) recently organised an inter-MBA football tournament in Battersea Park between students from LBS, Saïd Business School, Judge Business School, Alliance Manchester Business School, Imperial College Business School and Cass Business School.
TopMBA spoke with Jorge Fernandez and Andres Camacho Mendoza, AMBS MBA candidates Class of 2022 to learn more about the tournament, how they chose their football team, and why sport is a great way to network on an MBA programme.
