We’re proud to sponsor one of the country’s most cherished sporting events, The FA Cup, as well as The FA Women’s Cup, The FA Youth Cup and The FA Schools Programme. From reducing the carbon footprint of The FA Cup to bringing families and football together, we’ve offered fans and our customers unique opportunities to enjoy The FA Cup.
Over the course of our sponsorship we’ve also travelled across the country on our Road to Wembley tour. From the Extra Preliminary Round all the way to The Final at Wembley Stadium, we’ve visited many of the clubs taking part, lending our support, and taken The FA Cup trophy to schools and hospitals.
Last season we launched Family Football, a campaign designed to bring families and football together through a range of exciting initiatives. We’ve laid on pre-match entertainment at Family Football Lounges where families could take part in penalty shoot outs and enjoy football skills. We’ve given away thousands of match tickets to fans and their families and we’ve made childhood dreams come true by giving 20,000 fans around the country the chance to create their own magic moment by lifting the famous trophy at The FA Cup Trophy Tour.
The Football League
We strengthened our role at the heart of football by becoming Official Energy Partner of The Football League from the start of the 2007 season.
Working more closely with clubs across the League allows us to extend our reach to football fans, customers and E.ON colleagues in the communities in which we operate. Our partnership with The Football League also enables us to promote environmental awareness and energy efficiency, and gives us the opportunity to offer clubs guidance and solutions to become increasingly sustainable in the future.
