McDonald’s Fun Football Festival is a key element of the partnership between McDonald’s and the Irish FA on the grassroots football programme, which also sees Fun Football sessions and the Grassroots Football Awards delivered each year.
Northern Ireland legend and McDonald’s Fun Football Ambassador Pat Jennings said: “This summer McDonald’s is giving thousands of kids across the UK the chance to play football and participate in these unique events for free – and I would strongly encourage families from across Northern Ireland to get involved.
“The McDonald’s Fun Football programme is for everyone – it doesn’t matter what your child’s ability is. It’s about getting kids active and giving them an opportunity to have fun with their friends and family.
“After more than a year of ongoing restrictions, it’s so important now more than ever that kids are given the platform to be active and play sports for the benefit of both their mental and physical health.”
McDonald’s recently celebrated the huge milestone of providing five million hours of free Fun Football to children in the UK a year ahead of their 2022 goal, before vowing to offer 1.5 million more hours in the next 12 months.
