As part of the partnership, E.on will provide energy saving advice for grassroots clubs alongside energy-saving kit packs, and educational resources.

FA chief executive Mark Bullingham said: “Our new partnership with E.on will provide many of our grassroots clubs with valuable support and guidance to help them become more sustainable in the future.
“This includes working with clubs so that they can make a positive environmental impact in the communities they serve, as well as helping them to save money by identifying new energy-efficient ways to run their clubs.
“We’re delighted to be working with E.on on this important area of our game, and we look forward to sharing further details with grassroots clubs in the coming months around our new support programme, including infrastructure upgrades and educational resources that will be on offer to them.”
