OFX are the Ecommerce Cup Winners for 2018, after what was a hard fought competition where they narrowly beat last year’s winners Just Eat in the final. It was a really close competition at times with more teams entering than previous years and on a hot sunny day the competition really was was tougher than ever.
We didn’t get a head count, but over 400 people from the top ecommerce companies in the country were there. The team briefing this year was so big it was impossible to get a picture with everyone in as the filled a pitch and then some.
The Ecommerce Cup has grown so large that from the group stages the group winners go on to play for the Ecommerce Cup and the runners up from each group play for the Ecommerce Shield. This year, ChannelAdvisor beat themselves in the Shield final – they had so many players that like a couple of companies they entered two teams. So congratulations and commiserations to ChannelAdvisor!
There are many people without whom the Ecommerce Cup wouldn’t be the success that it is, so thank you to our sponsors – UKAuctioneers and JH, our hosts – Playfootball and their team including the professional refs, the team in the office who worked tirelessly to manage the event and of course to all the players from the many companies that have entered over the years and still come back annually to make this the biggest and best Ecommerce Cup experience for all involved.
We have published the results from the group stages and finals here and of course watch out for news next year for when The Ecommerce Cup 2019 will be taking place!
