Lizzie Arnot and Allan Campbell paid a special visit to a McDonald’s Fun Football session at the
Donald Dewar Centre in Glasgow last week.
The surprise visit was to relaunch McDonald’s Fun Football sessions in Scotland, which are
designed to give free, safe and fun physical activity to thousands of children across the country,
regardless of ability or gender.
The Rangers and Scotland international forward and Motherwell starlet joined in with the
activities and helped coach youngsters who were taking part in the free football session, which is
delivered in partnership with the Scottish FA.
As part of McDonald’s providing one million hours of free coaching this year all under the
guidance of top Scottish FA accredited coaches. McDonald’s is also committed to its target of
giving over 500,000 children the opportunity to play football for the first time.
McDonald’s Fun Football ambassador Lizzie Arnot commented: “These Fun Football
sessions are an incredible way to get children back into football after the tough time we’ve had.
These are the type of sessions I wish we had when I was growing up and I would highly recommend
the Fun Football sessions to anyone who is thinking about taking up or getting back into football.”
McDonald’s has worked with the Scottish FA and the other Home Nations Football
Associations for the last 19 years, making them the longest standing provider of grassroots football
in the UK.
