Lucozade Sport and FA team up to offer Dartford residents 90,000 minutes of free football
The Football Association (FA) and Lucozade Sport are encouraging people to support the Lionesses at the FIFA Women’s World Cup by offering 90,000 minutes of free football.
The partnership will offer a local pitch for residents to “inspire support and participation in the women’s game”.
Free pitch time will be available at Goals football venue in Green Street Green Road, Dartford.
To take advantage of the offer, all you need to know is call them on 01322 311411 to book a pitch.
The 90,000 minutes giveaway follows on from Lucozade Sport giving England’s most famous football song, ‘Three Lions’, a Lionesses’ twist with a rewrite to inspire the nation to get behind the women’s team.
Special permission was granted by Baddiel and Skinner to rerecord the 1996 original, which is being used as the soundtrack to Lucozade Sport’s new advert which tells the story of women footballers overcoming prejudices to make it to the international stage.
The fresh-look lyrics feature the lines “Same pride. Same meaning…Never stopped us dreaming” and “we still see that tackle by Moore, And when Nikita scored, Stephy’s belting the ball, And Nobbsy dancing” in support of the team.
England international Jordan Nobbs said: “This is an incredible time for women’s football as awareness and popularity continues to grow and initiatives such as the 90,000 free minutes make it easier than ever for more women to give football a go.”
Head of marketing at Lucozade Sport, Claire Keaveny, said: “Lucozade Sport has been a long-time supporter of women’s football and we’re honoured to be a sponsor of the Lionesses as they take part in such an iconic sporting event.
“Our aim, alongside the Lionesses, is to inspire a generation of women to get moving and try football.”
England's women's team beat Japan 2-0 on Wednesday, topping their group with nine points and securing their place in the Round of 16.
