Specsavers & Gary Neville revamp football pitches

Specsavers has teamed up with former Manchester United and England defender Gary Neville to launch the Best Worst Pitch initiative, aimed at revitalising underfunded grassroots football pitches. 

As part of the initiative, 50 UK grassroots clubs will receive line painting and pitch maintenance equipment alongside maintenance training. 

The project built on Specsavers’ Best Worst Team campaign, which highlighted the challenges clubs faced due to limited funding for pitch maintenance.  

Kim Bull, PR and social lead, said: ‘This initiative means we can support more clubs and communities. By making faded lines more visible, we’re helping players see the beautiful game more clearly. And hopefully make fewer mistakes.’
