Kellogg's Wanderers on world’s longest multi-club football scarf

The club is included on the 100m long football scarf, alongside more than 70 other football clubs across England, Wales, and Scotland.

The scarf represents the involvement of EFL clubs, plus Scottish powerhouses Celtic and Rangers, and is the result of more than 500 hours spent across design, knitting, and sewing with each club element hand-sewn by a team of specialists in Manchester.

The scarf comes as part of the launch of the Kellogg’s Football Camps programme.

In partnership with the English Football League, Manchester City, Celtic and Rangers, the football camps, for girls and boys aged five to 15, will support parents in keeping their kids active and entertained across the nation during the school summer holidays.

And to celebrate the announcement of the camps, Kellogg’s is also giving away 30,000 free places for the camps before they kick off this summer.

Ex-pros came together at Birmingham City’s stadium, St Andrews at Knighthead Park, with past EFL stars of the game including Jermaine Beckford and Michael Dawson, as well as children from schools taking to the pitch to celebrate the launch.

Manchester City Women stars Chloe Kelly, Demi Stokes, and Ruby Mace surprised a group of young players as they trained at City’s Etihad Campus.

Chris Silcock, managing director of Kellanova (the company that owns Kellogg’s) said: “Most families will be within 15 miles of a Kellogg’s Football Camp, giving children up and down Britain an opportunity to get active this summer.

“Run by FA qualified coaches, the camps aim to be fun and to give girls and boys the opportunity to get onto the pitch and follow in the footsteps of their footballing heroes.”

Speaking on behalf of the EFL’s involvement in the programme, former Hull City and England defender Dawson said: "For me, football camps during school breaks were where I had the most fun, kicking the football around with your mates.

“The EFL has such an advantage being part of so many different communities up and down the country, and to have Kellogg’s on board this summer to give so many kids the same opportunity I had when I was younger is really exciting."

Kellogg’s Football Camps sessions will take place throughout June and July up to September. Parents can sign their kids up at www.kelloggsfc.com.
