The Telford United soccer team is participating in a weekend of matches financially supported by the National Lottery.
The National League North squad will offer a two-for-one ticket deal for their game against Gloucester City on April 2, 2022. This action is part of a broader effort to assist teams experiencing economic hardship due to the COVID-19 health crisis.
“It’s widely known that the pandemic has had a ruinous economic effect on organizations like ours. The interruption to the game schedule has resulted in the loss of crucial game-day income for numerous teams, which has jeopardized their very survival,” declared a message from Telford United.
“Fortunately, National Lottery participants have increased their contributions to provide essential aid to a multitude of local soccer teams, supplying a financial lifeline of £12.5 million ($16.8 million) in funding across teams in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.”
A combined 231 teams throughout England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland have committed to participating in the National Lottery Football Weekends, with each team selecting a home game in March or April to provide this unique ticket offer.
“National Lottery participants play a critical role in sustaining our national sport at every level, especially non-league and amateur levels, which are the foundation of our sport,” stated Football Operations Manager Luke Shelley.
The Telford United Football Club possesses immense pride in its strong connections to the surrounding area. The crucial charitable spirit of our neighbors enables us to maintain the operation of vital initiatives. These endeavors create a tangible impact, not solely for our devoted fans, but for all individuals in our vicinity.”
