CELTIC FC Foundation, in collaboration with Celtic’s official kit supplier, adidas, is delighted to announce details of a joint initiative committed to creating change through football.

Through the adidas Football Collective, we are offering local grassroots and amateur teams within the community the opportunity to be kitted out in a full set of adidas Teamwear kits. A total of eight kit bundles will be up for grabs – with 15 individual kit sets for each squad.

The initiative aims to support the return of grassroots football throughout Europe and shine a light on the 99%. Professional football has returned despite empty stadiums and strict COVID-19 protocols, yet amateur and grassroots football in Europe is still largely facing an uncertain future.

The adidas Football Collective is united by the belief that, through football, a positive change can be created. Building on its own history of utilising the power of sport to change lives, and bringing together its past, current and future initiative, adidas have committed to continue to work together with local trailblazers to help evolve and develop city-specific initiatives under the adidas Football Collective badge.

Through bringing together similar local community initiatives already underway under the adidas Football Collective badge, adidas is also working to identify individuals, organisations, and club partners in cities around the world, to collaborate with and continue to provide more access to sport and positively impact communities.

These hyper-local projects, supported in a variety of ways by adidas – from pitches, to product to people – will be introduced through the remainder of 2020, and continue beyond.

2. Tell us who you are and the name of your community football team

3. Tell us why your community football team deserves the kits and how long your team has been running
