Joining the National Lottery Football Weekends, AFC Telford United

This implies that on 2 April 2022, the National League North football club will host Gloucester City, and National Lottery participants can bring a friend and each of them will get a free ticket to the game.

Football clubs all around the United Kingdom have suffered enormous financial losses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has coincided with the launch of the campaign.

You, the fans, are well aware of the devastation that the pandemic has wrought on clubs just like ours. The future of many teams was seriously feared when the football season came to an end and there was no income from gate receipts, according to a statement from AFC Telford United.

Clubs in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland received £12.5 million ($16.7 million) in support from National Lottery players, who thankfully stepped in to safeguard numerous local football clubs.

Currently, 231 teams across the UK, NI, and Wales are taking part in The National Lottery Football Weekends. In March or April, each club can host a BOGO ticket promotion for one of their home matches.

The involvement of National Lottery players is crucial in bolstering our national game, particularly at the non-league and grassroots levels," stated Luke Shelley, the Football Operations Manager.

"The emergency funding that ensured our survival allows us to continue delivering projects that make a real difference to our fans and the wider community. AFC Telford United takes pride in being a club that is closely connected to the local community."
