Derby County have once again teamed up with Club Partner Eden Tyres & Servicing for the 2025/26 season to run a fantastic incentive for local children’s football teams.
‘Kit 4 Kids’ gives local junior football teams, between the ages of Under-7s to Under-12s, in Derbyshire the opportunity to be nominated to win a brand-new football kit.
There might be various reasons to nominate a team and, as always, each nomination will be closely considered.
After the success of past seasons' campaigns, TWO winning teams will once again get the opportunity to visit Pride Park Stadium and be presented with their brand-new kits ahead of their 2026/27 season!
Last season’s winners, Allenton United Lions Under-9s Boys and Belper Town Under-8s Girls, were surprised by Men’s First Team players Patrick Agyemang and Sondre Langås, along with Women’s First Team players Yasmin Mason and Kate Oakley, as they were being presented with their new football kits for the first time.
Matt Eden, Managing Director of Eden Tyres & Servicing, said: “As a local, family-run business that started right here in Derby, giving back to our community means a lot to us. That’s why initiatives like Kit 4 Kids are so important, supporting grassroots teams with kits they can feel proud wearing makes a real difference.
"Seeing the kids receive their new kits at Pride Park is always a special moment, especially as it’s such a big surprise for them. Watching them meet the players in the changing rooms and take it all in creates memories they’ll never forget. As Derby fans ourselves, having supported the Rams for many years, it makes it even more special.
"It’s something we genuinely look forward to every year, and a great reflection of what our partnership with the Rams is all about. We’re excited to see all the nominations for 2026.”
The winning teams will be invited to Pride Park Stadium for a tour, along with the official unveiling of their brand-new kit, which will be sponsored and provided by Eden Tyres & Servicing.

The closing date for applications is midnight on Friday 17th April 2026.
