Texaco Support for Sport initiative open for applications

The Texaco Support for Sport initiative will be held again this year. The sponsorship is by Valero Energy (Ireland) Limited – the company that markets fuel in Ireland under the Texaco brand.

Open to sports clubs across the 26 counties, irrespective of sporting discipline, size, membership, age, cultural appeal or gender – including clubs that may have made an unsuccessful application previously – the initiative sees a fund of €130,000 being set aside for distribution to sports clubs on a 26, county-by-county basis.

Last year, the successful County Kildare winner to receive a €5,000 award was Leixlip United AFC who applied under the scheme for funding to ‘be invested in new equipment and coaching courses’.

Leading the adjudication process once again is Texaco Support for Sport ambassador, acclaimed broadcaster and former Irish rugby international, Donncha O’Callaghan.

Information and rules governing the operation of the scheme can be viewed online, the most important requirement being that applicant clubs be properly constituted and hold a valid Games & Sports Number (GS Number) issued by the Office of the Revenue Commissioners and featured on a recent list published by them on 30th June 2021.

Open for applications from now until 31 December 2021, adjudication will take place in January 2022.
