EFL Community Takeover (Scan To Smile)
This weekend’s game will see us celebrate the Scan To Smile campaign - an initiative led by the EFL designed to spread positivity, beat the January blues and shine a spotlight on the life-changing work delivered by Football Club charities.
Posters displayed around EFL stadiums from 23-31 January will invite fans to scan QR codes, alongside codes on-screen during all live EFL games on Sky Sports, with each scan unlocking a short, uplifting story from a real person whose life has been positively impacted by the support of their local club charity.
At Leicester City, we’ll be profiling Jenny Read, a proud Leicester City in the Community participant and one of the original members of our Silver Foxes group. Designed for supporters over 55, the initiative helps them to stay active, make new friends and reduce social isolation.
For Jenny, the group has been a constant source of laughter, conversation and companionship, and late last year, her commitment was recognised when she was presented with a Community Hero award from Foxes striker Patson Daka.
Half Time Chat
As part of the EFL Community Takeover, Leicester City in the Community’s walking football lead, Dave Eassom, will be joined pitchside by Steve Walsh to talk more about the programme and how it benefits so many people across Leicestershire.
Walking football is a slower-paced, modified version of the game where players cannot run, jog or sprint, focusing on walking at all times to reduce injury risk and encourage participation from older adults or those with mobility issues.
To find out more about walking football opportunities, email david.eassom@lcfc.co.uk. Howard Riley
We will mark the passing of our legendary former winger Howard Riley with a minute’s applause at Saturday’s game.
Our players will also wear black armbands for the fixture in tribute to Howard, who sadly passed away earlier this month, aged 87.
He was one of our greatest players, making more than 200 appearances and playing a key role in some of the most significant moments in our history.
Clappers
Clappers will be available for the Blue Army to collect ahead of the game, helping to enhance the matchday experience on Filbert Way.
Supporters can collect their clappers from the North Stand (N22/23) or from the Foxes Fanstore.
