About Us / Club History
Based in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, FC Interski is a football club represented by 10 teams covering 7 age groups. The club was created to provide an environment for local youngsters to develop their footballing skills, aided by the corporate sponsorship of Interski.
The sponsorship works on a 50/50 basis, with Interski matching any funds raised by the club. This is particularly helpful for local football teams, as anyone who has ever been involved will know how costly running a club can prove.
