McDonald’s is the longest-standing supporter of grassroots football in the UK, and alongside the Irish FA, Scottish FA, and Football Association of Wales, has made the biggest commitment to grassroots football by doubling the size of its new Fun Football programme. 

The McDonald's Fun Football programme will provide over one million 5–11-year-olds with the opportunity to enjoy free football coaching and will deliver over 10.5 million hours of Fun Football over the course of the next four years, making it the largest grassroots participation programme in the UK. 

McDonald’s will continue to improve the accessibility of the Fun Football programme through training and upskilling of coaches in partnership with the Irish FA. Together, they have partnered with local charity Multi-Ethnic Sports and Culture NI to make sure every Fun Football coach is equipped with the knowledge and tools to help create inclusive environments for participants from all communities.
