Autumn sign-ups are now live for the largest grassroots programme offering free football coaching to thousands of children (aged 5-11) across the UK. McDonald’s Fun Football is completely free and sessions are now available in over 80% of lower-socio economic urban areas.
2024 has also seen a huge growth in total hours of free football coaching from the programme with 2.1 million hours provided to children across the country.
McDonald’s Fun Football ambassador Phil Foden said: “Football is for everyone, and I want to make sure kids and parents across the UK know how to get involved with the McDonald’s Fun Football programme. Being back in training has me buzzing for the upcoming season and I can’t wait to see kids out on the pitch playing the game alongside me. Let’s continue inspiring the next generation of football stars and keep grassroots football as accessible as we can!’
McDonald’s Fun Football ambassador Lauren James said: “Watching young girls and boys playing the game that changed my life at an early age is so great to see and that’s why I am working with McDonald’s Fun Football. It’s so important to make football as accessible and inclusive as we can, and I hope to keep inspiring many kids across the UK to join in on the fun.’
