Octopus scores big: free kits for 500 kids’ football teams

• Octopus is giving away snazzy football kits for 500 local kids’ teams for free
• Options include stylish pre-made ‘Octo-kit' or customisable designs with team colours and logos
• Part of Octopus’ popular rewards program ‘Octoplus’, now used by 1.7m+ customers

London, 12th July 2024 - Octopus Energy is set to power up UK grassroots football with a game-changing giveaway: 500 free, snazzy kit sets for local kids' teams.

Members of Octopus’ electrifying rewards programme ‘Octoplus’ can score free top-notch kits for their local football squad – 10 outfield, 1 goalie, zero cost!

Octopus has teamed up with MG Sportswear to offer 3 slick kit designs: a wavy ‘Octo-kit’, a plain kit with a team logo and a choice of colours and a vertical striped kit also with a team logo and a choice of colours. All options feature the sporting team numbers and the Octopus emblem.

This initiative is the latest perk for ‘Octoplus’ customers, who already enjoy rewards like free sweet treats, festival tickets, kids’ cinema trips, and mouthwatering restaurant discounts.

Over 1.7 million Octopus customers have joined the ‘Octoplus’ scheme so far, racking up redeemable ‘Octopoints’ simply by keeping a healthy energy account or reducing their energy usage during the company’s legendary ‘Saving Sessions’.

Rebecca Dibb-Simkin, Chief Product Officer at Octopus Energy, commented: “We’re not just powering homes; we’re energising the next generation of football stars.

“We’re proud to support grassroots sport and give kids the opportunity to play in style. We can’t wait to see local teams across the UK rocking their new Octopus kits and bringing their energy to the pitch."
