Footballers across Europe gather for Faith, Fellowship, and Renewal

Professional footballers from across Europe gathered for the annual five-day Ballers in God retreat, designed to help players deepen their faith, build community, and recharge spiritually and mentally.

The event kicked off with CEO John Bostock sharing advice on staying consistent in faith and football. Players then united in an hour of prayer for the football world, healing from injuries, and for players to shine as positive role models.

A special highlight was guest speaker Pastor Randolph Adjei, who inspired everyone with his message. Dan Crowley also added to the retreat’s spirit by singing ‘Jesus He is’ by Nathaniel Bassey as part of his initiation—a truly heartfelt worship moment.
