World Famous in Donegal Nothing accompanies a warm summers day quite like a bottle of Football Special.

Beach football, street football and football on the green all share three things in common; their importance, jumpers for goalposts and McDaids Football Special. Since 1949 McDaids have been developing soft drinks to go with any occasion. Football Special was originally born to help celebrate the numerous successes of local football club, Swilly Rovers. The drink called “Football Cup” was designed to “fill the cup” with an exciting non-alcoholic beverage. Later the name was changed to Football Special but the unique taste stayed the same.

Ever wondered how our cans of Football Special are made? ✨

Almost as satisfying to watch it being made as it is to drink a can!

(P.s if you’ve never watched hit tv show How It’s Made, 1. You should, 2. the crayon episode slaps)

Football Special or Football Special Nil-Nil?

Football Special - the Original, no artificial sweeteners, just pure cane sugar

Football Special Nil-Nil - All of the flavour of Football Special, just none of the sugar
