The FIFA World Cup 2026, running from June through to July, is set to be one of the biggest sporting events in the world – and here in England, the excitement will be huge.

From garden get‑togethers and street parties to school events, corporate fun days and community celebrations, we supply a wide range of football‑themed inflatable and games hire that are perfect for World Cup fever.
Perfect Hire Products for World Cup 2026 Events
We have one of the largest selections of football‑themed inflatables and interactive games in the North West, suitable for all ages and all types of events.
⚽ Football Themed Bouncy Castles & Combos
Our football themed bouncy castles and bouncy castle & slide combos are always a hit with younger football fans. Bright, colourful and instantly recognisable, they’re ideal for children’s parties, family events and match‑day gatherings where you want to keep kids entertained while the football is on.
🥅 Inflatable Penalty Shootouts
A World Cup classic. Our inflatable penalty shootouts are perfect for friendly competitions, fundraising events and party challenges. Set up a mini tournament and see who’s got the composure to score under pressure.
🎯 Inflatable Football Dartboards (8ft, 13ft & 23ft)
One of our most popular football games. Using Velcro footballs, players aim for the target just like a dartboard – no footballing ability required. With 8ft, 13ft and massive 23ft diameter options, these are ideal for everything from garden parties to large‑scale events.
🧍♂️ Inflatable Human Football Table (5 v 5)
An inflatable twist on Subbuteo, our human football table is brilliant for older kids, teens and adults. Players are strapped into lanes and can only move side to side, making for hilarious, competitive matches that always draw a crowd.

For younger guests, our football themed soft play is a safe and colourful option that fits perfectly into family‑friendly World Cup events, community days and indoor venues.
⚡ Interactive Football Inflatables
We also supply a range of interactive football games, including our popular IPS Football Challenge, which tests speed, reactions and accuracy. These are ideal for competitive events, corporate fun days and sports clubs.
🎲 Table Games & Fair‑Style Challenges
To add variety to your World Cup event, we also offer:
These work brilliantly alongside inflatables and help create a full activity zone rather than just one attraction.
🏆 ‘Beat the Keeper’ – Our Ultimate Football Challenge
One of the standout attractions in our football range is ‘Beat the Keeper’. This huge 23ft diameter inflatable football challenge features cut‑out scoring holes worth 25 to 100 points. Players take aim and try to rack up the highest score – perfect for competitions, prizes and serious bragging rights during the tournament.
