West Bromwich Albion’s Hospitality team claimed three accolades at the 2026 Stadium Events & Hospitality Awards.
The prestigious ceremony - sponsored by Global Payments Inc. - was held at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Thursday, July 2, bringing together more than 500 guests from over 70 clubs for an evening of celebration. The event marks the 19th annual awards hosted by Stadium Experience.
Albion secured gold in the Overall Matchday Hospitality Experience 2026 category, one of the event’s most prestigious awards. This meant coming out on top ahead of 40 participating venues and is a huge credit to all involved in making matchday hospitality at The Hawthorns so special.
Additionally, the Baggies were named the winners of the Matchday Hospitality Award – Medium Stadium. The category allowed for stadiums with between 1001 and 2000 hospitality seats, and the Shrine’s hard-working staff overcame competition from Premier League stadiums for their second gold award.
And finally, the Chef Team of the Year Bronze Award was also bestowed upon the club. The category was judged by The British Culinary Federation and tested the entrants’ ability to prepare, cook and present a three-course menu within 90 minutes.
Tomasz Chadwick, Director of Events, Experience and Technology, said: "To be named the very best in matchday hospitality, against a field of 40 venues, is a truly proud moment.
“This award belongs to our entire hospitality and catering team, whose creativity, care and consistency shine through on every single matchday.
“Every detail of our matchday experience, from the food to the welcome our guests receive, is the result of real thought, planning and hard work behind the scenes, and to have that craft recognised at a national level means a great deal to us.
“A huge thank you to Stadium Experience, the judges, and most importantly our guests, whose feedback helps strengthen our offering.
“We're already excited about building on this success next season."
