We are honoured to host a very special episode of Game of 5s. His Royal Highness Prince William, along with Harry Kane and Declan Rice join host Kelvyn Quagraine to share some of their most significant football memories. From £5 goal bonuses to Euro heartbreak, we cover the full range of highs and lows of football life. This film aims to show that we can all face challenges to our mental health, from those at the top of their game to the fans in the terraces.

But through shared interests and common ground, speaking about it doesn’t have to be difficult or lonely – it can be an everyday topic that we talk openly about in our day to day lives. This has been the ethos behind Prince William’s work with The Royal Foundation of The Prince and Princess of Wales to change the conversation on mental health and ensure that support is available to everyone that needs it and is the reason he took part in the show.

If you are struggling to cope and in need of support:

confidential conversation at any time of day or night

At COPA90, we’ve always believed in uniting people through football. We truly hope this episode will remind people of the power of talking when dealing with mental health issues. It only takes one message to start a conversation. So as the World Cup draws closer, consider asking that simple question, ‘Fancy watching the match together?’

About COPA90:
At COPA90 we believe that football is the universal language. We’re here to entertain, inform and celebrate football and its fans. Whether it’s chats and challenges with your favourite footballers, in depth documentaries about fan culture or amazing animations and explainers about the biggest stories in the game, COPA90 is how football feels.

  1. The Euros no doubt best moment of my life the way the whole country United together as one is something I'll never forget

  2. What a great conversation. More people need to open up about the issues they are having in relation to their own mental health. Well done lads !

  3. The problem is not that mental health isn't discussed – it's discussed endlessly these days – but that unless you're a person of means, you can't access the right sort of help when it's needed. Huge waiting lines, over-burdened services and staff etc. It's the same in many countries too. That is what needs working on.

  4. William is by far the best royal he really integrates himself into the public and that fact he does something like this when you are next in line is brilliant.

  5. I love all the people judging Prince William, like, have you looked in a mirror lately? He can't help that he's royalty, but he's worked hard and stayed humble and done I think the best job you can do in such circumstances. People are quick to judge others, and I'm gonna guess they aren't perfect themselves.

  6. Does British Royal Family support England or entire UK, including Wales in World Cup? If Wales win World Cup… is that pride dor entire UK or just supporting England?

  7. whats even the point of royalty if they let us commoners just call them "you guys" to their face. any illusion of superiority is completely gone.

  8. It blows the mind to think that someone like William can lead the life that he does, which of course is so far removed from my humble existence, yet still come across as relatable.

  9. It was a nice segway of footballing royality into real royality, but in all seriousness if those 2 are footballing royalty then idk what category the players who have won trophies almost every year of their career are in😂 not even gonna mention Messi and Ronaldo lol

  10. That’s why I can’t wait till the World Cup begins when the whole nations gathers together and we start celebration. The whole country cheering on for England is the best even people that don’t like football

  11. William really is a leader. Right through his Eaton days at his darkest moments in 1997. Which I had to go through the same thing a year later 2 weeks after my 15 birthday when my mum died when she committed suicide in 1998.
