The Iconic Ramelton craft soda, Football will be available nationwide as part of Lidl’s Kickstart Supplier Development Programme from this Thursday.

To celebrate the launch of Football Special into Lidl stores, Football Special will be running a competition to win a year’s supply of Football Special! All entrants will need to do is simply describe the flavour of Football Special.

The most creative answer will be chosen by the Football Special Team, and the author will receive a year’s supply of Football Special! Entrants will need to scan the QR codes attached to Football Special bottles in Lidl stores to submit their answers. Full competition details can be found on the Football Special website.

Football Special is a fourth-generation, family-owned soft drinks company. The original Football Special has been a beloved beverage in Ireland, for generations. Originating in the 1940’s, to celebrate the many successes of the local Football Club, Swilly Rovers, Football Special was designed for players to ‘fill the cup’ with an exciting, but non-alcoholic beverage.

This distinctive craft soda combines a unique blend of ingredients to deliver a taste that has stood the test of time. Known for its refreshing flavour and nostalgic appeal, Football Special has garnered a dedicated fanbase, particularly in Donegal. For the first time, 1 litre bottles of Football Special, Exotic Pineapple and American Cream Soda will now be available nationwide.

"We are thrilled to partner with Lidl through the Kickstart Supplier Development Programme,” Seamus McDaid, Managing Director of Football Special, expressed his excitement about the collaboration. “This opportunity allows us to share our beloved Football Special with even more people across Ireland. We believe that our craft soda's unique flavour and rich history will resonate with Lidl customers.
“We’ve been told that Football Special tastes like a lot of different things over the years. We want people to give us their most creative answers as to what they think Football Special tastes like.”

The winner of the competition will be announced via Football Special’s social media pages on November 1.
