Boots for Africa

Purchase boot bags and help develop coaching in Africa

Are you looking for Christmas gifts or trying to raise money for your club? Here’s a way to not only provide your members with a good quality product but it will also help to support children playing football in Africa.

Sheffield FC, the world's oldest football club and an FA Charter Standard Club, together with The FA's Community Partner, McDonald’s, are looking for grassroots clubs in England to support their initiative by purchasing boot bags, the proceeds of which will help the development of children’s coaching in Africa.

“I’d encourage all the grassroots clubs out there to get involved in this great scheme,” said Sir Geoff Hurst, McDonald’s Director of Football.

"Not only will they get a superb piece of kit but they’ll also make a major difference to the lives of children in Africa."

Richard Tims, Chairman of Sheffield FC, said: “Raise money for your club at the same time as helping children in Africa with our new boots bag, initiative in association with McDonalds."
