McDonald’s Franchisee José Calaza is proud to be the brand-new sponsor of the Havant and Waterlooville FC Community Coaches training kit.
The football club and community coaches provide free football sessions to local schools and children from a disadvantaged background. The brand-new sponsorship supports their important work in the community.

Local McDonald’s Franchisee, José Calaza, who owns and operates 12 restaurants in Hampshire, said: “Local football is important for our community which is why we support local teams through each restaurant, and I am delighted to help support Havant and Waterlooville FC community coaches by providing the new training kit.
Commercial Manager for Havant and Waterlooville FC, Ellie Magri, said: “The community coaches at Havant and Waterlooville FC are hugely grateful to McDonald’s for their sponsorship and supply of the new training kit. McDonald’s support enables us to keep offering coaching sessions to local schools in the area, and we look forward to working together to provide a safe and fun environment for children to play football.
