Here’s how you can support local football clubs and be in with a chance of winning cash prizes

Next time you nip out to Circle K, don't miss your chance to show your local team some love.

Whether it's jerseys, a facilities upgrade or simply paying your monthly dues, being part of a grassroots footie club isn't always kind on the pocket - and a little bit of support can go a long way.

But what if there was a way to lend a helping hand to local football clubs while filling up your tank or grabbing a coffee and a sandwich?

To help support football clubs across the country, Circle K are introducing a brand new way you can earn points for grassroots football clubs through their partnership with the FAI. But that's not all. Members who are at the top of the leaderboard can win a cash prize of €500 each week, and the top three clubs each month will receive kits from Circle K.

Then in March, selected clubs will receive some pretty incredible prizes:

- One club will win €10,000

- Four clubs will win €5,000 each

- Five clubs will receive three sets of kits each

- One club will win a VIP experience to attend a training session with the Men's National Team

So, how can you start earning points today? Circle K has made the whole process super easy. Here's how it works:

- Download the Circle K App and become a Circle K Extra member.

- Scan in-store when you shop at Circle K and play the daily game to earn points for yourself and your club.

In addition to supporting local football clubs, Circle K Extra members can use the app to nab fuel discounts and other savings, so download the app today and start playing and saving.
