Background: The prevalence of male obesity is increasing but few men take part in weight loss programmes. We assessed the eff ect of a weight loss and healthy living programme on weight loss in football (soccer) fans. Methods: We did a two-group, pragmatic, randomised controlled trial of 747 male football fans aged 35-65 years with a body-mass index (BMI) of 28 kg/m2 or higher from 13 Scottish professional football clubs. Participants were randomly assigned with SAS (version 9.2, block size 2-9) in a 1:1 ratio, stratifi ed by club, to a weight loss programme delivered by community coaching staff in 12 sessions held every week. The intervention group started a weight loss programme within 3 weeks, and the comparison group were put on a 12 month waiting list. All participants received a weight management booklet. Primary outcome was mean diff erence in weight loss between groups at 12 months, expressed as absolute weight and a percentage of their baseline weight. Primary outcome assessment was masked. Analyses were based on intention to treat. The trial is registered with Current Controlled Trials, number ISRCTN32677491. Findings: 374 men were allocated to the intervention group and 374 to the comparison group. 333 (89%) of the intervention group and 355 (95%) of the comparison group completed 12 month assessments. At 12 months the mean diff erence in weight loss between groups, adjusted for baseline weight and club, was 4.94 kg (95% CI 3.95-5.94) and percentage weight loss, similarly adjusted, was 4.36% (3.64-5.08), both in favour of the intervention (p
