Grassroots football clubs across England are set to benefit after our mates at TeamGrassroots paid up with the Wembley Stadium Foundation to launch a major new initiative.

The National Kit Scheme will see 3000 unisex Nike football kits available for teams, giving a huge boost to clubs as one of the big financial barriers in grassroots football is removed for hundreds of teams.

In a nationwide effort to support grassroots football and clubs that are often the heartbeat of local communities, the initiative is open to a wide range of youth teams across England, from under-7s all the way up to under-18s.

Each kit includes high-quality Nike wear and applicants can customise their order by choosing from a range of colours and sizes, with teams also able to upload their own badge or logo to ensure the kit is truly their own.

Applications are open until midnight on Sunday, June 22 and, with high demand expected, not every application will be successful. As such, teams are encouraged to apply as early as possible to avoid disappointment.

With costs continuing to rise for grassroots clubs, this opportunity will hand a lifeline to many in need of new kits and help continue to provide lifelong memories for kids up and down the country.

The Wembley Stadium Foundation is the charitable arm of the iconic stadium and partnered with TeamGrassroots to continue its long-held commitment to supporting grassroots sports.

A TeamGrassroots spokesperson said: “The National Kit Scheme is all about levelling the playing field. Grassroots football is the lifeblood of our national game, and we know just how much difference a quality kit can make to a team’s morale, identity, and sense of pride.

“We’re proud to be working with the Wembley Stadium Foundation to get kits into the hands of those who need them most.”
