MacBlair Managing Director Alan Wright said: “We are proud to partner with the Irish FA and strengthen our commitment to local communities across Northern Ireland. At MacBlair, we believe in making a real impact, and through the MacBlair Support Funds, we’re excited to help clubs enhance their facilities and create lasting benefits for grassroots football.” 

The initiative will be delivered through two key funds:

The MacBlair Building Support Fund in collaboration with the Irish FA, will directly support clubs through the provision of building materials for projects such as upgrading clubhouses, enhancing pitches, or improving facilities.

The MacBlair Club Support Fund will provide clubs with training equipment packs which include all the essentials; from footballs and training bibs to cones, markers and pop-up goals. This initiative ensures that grassroots football clubs have access to the resources they need to thrive.
