Giveaway and QR code scanning instructions

The final stages of the Emirates FA Cup are approaching and Carling is building excitement with the launch of an all-new on-pack promotion, trivia competition and marketing campaign.

From 23 March until 30 June 2025, adults can scan QR codes on promotional multipacks of Carling and enter the code displayed on the inside of the sleeve alongside their details for the chance to win*.


The prizes up for grabs include four seats in the stands at Wembley Stadium for the Emirates FA Cup final and a pre-match Wembley Stadium tour, which includes a one-night stay at a four-star Wembley hotel and travel allowance, as well as Deliveroo vouchers for secondary draw winners.

New this year, shoppers that enter the on-pack promotion will have a second chance to win a one of ten, £20 gift vouchers to spend at selected retailers if they correctly answer an Emirates FA Cup-themed trivia question*.

The promotion is designed to help retailers build up excitement amongst football fans and will run across 4x440ml, 10x440ml, and 18x440ml packs. Priced-marked 4x440ml, and 10x440ml packs will also be available.

In past years, Carling’s on-pack promotions have helped drive sales for retailers, increasing value sales of Carling by 60.8 per cent and 30.6 per cent during promotional periods in 2023 and 2024 respectively.

“Carling is proud to support football at every level – that’s why we’re the lager brand consumers most commonly associate with the beautiful game,” said Lee Willett, Carling Brand Director at Molson Coors Beverage Company.

“This campaign is about celebrating Carling’s football heritage and the history of the world’s oldest national football tournament. In bringing together clubs from across the football pyramid, the Emirates FA Cup creates truly unique sporting moments, and the final stages present a massive opportunity for our customers to drive sales.”

The beer brand, which has been a partner of the Emirates FA Cup and Adobe Women’s FA Cup since 2023, will also be sponsoring talkSPORT’s Emirates FA Cup and UEFA Nations League coverage, with Carling branding featuring prominently on match previews and reviews on talkSPORT Drive.

Carling has moved to strengthen its ties to football in recent years through sponsorship deals with the Football Association of Wales (FAW), Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL) and a host of top clubs including Newcastle, Nottingham Forest and Everton.

Carling is also supporting local football clubs up and down the country through its ongoing Grassroots Goals initiative, in partnership with Umbro, by giving them the opportunity to win prizes including new team kits throughout the course of the year.

Paddy Power Kabaddi World Cup 2025

Paddy Power partners Dhillon's Brewery!

The Paddy Power Kabaddi World Cup 2025 will bring sports fans from across the globe to the West Midlands this month – and attendees will now be able to enjoy the World Cup’s official beer, as well as a specially curated menu of food and drink for the duration of the competition. Produced in partnership with Coventry based brewery Dhillon’s, Raider has been created especially for the competition, presented in bespoke cans that will satisfy lager lovers and sports fans alike.

“Bringing this international competition to the UK for the first time means that we want to give guests an authentic British experience – and what better place to start, than by launching the World Cup’s own official beer, brewed right in the heart of the West Midlands," said Prem Singh, Chief Executive of the British Kabaddi League.

Located in Coventry, Dhillon's Brewery is an award-winning microbrewery with a rich and dynamic story. The brewery was founded in 2015 by Dal Dhillon, who chased his dream of brewing beautifully crafted beer at the heart of the Midlands. The Brewery sits adjacent to the CBS Arena, one of the tournament’s venues, and from that base they produce exciting and well-crafted ales using a mix of traditional and modern brewing methods. The beer itself, Raider, is a Pilsner Lager; classic and refreshing with malty sweetness coupled with a crisp cool finish – and it’s 100 per cent Vegan.

Dal Dhillon said of the announcement: "We're thrilled to be partnering with the Paddy Power Kabaddi World Cup 2025 and to be brewing the official beer for the event, which we're welcoming in the UK for the first time! As a home-grown business with deep roots in the community, supporting local initiatives has always been one of our core values. We're delighted to be uniting Coventry with the World Cup, to celebrate the rich cultural background both the city and the event have to offer.

The Paddy Power Kabaddi World Cup 2025 is hosted as a joint venture between World Kabaddi, England Kabaddi Association, the British Kabaddi League, West Midlands Combined Authority, the four hosting local authorities of Wolverhampton, Coventry, Birmingham and Walsall and the University of Wolverhampton. The championship will take place in venues across the region between 17th and 23rd March. The tournament is supported by £500,000 of funding support from the UK Government’s Commonwealth Games Legacy Enhancement Fund and by the championship’s title sponsor Paddy Power. The World Cup will also work with charity partner, Sporting Equals, to accelerate the charity’s goal of promoting community cohesion and eradicate racism in sport.

The Paddy Power Kabaddi World Cup 2025 official beer is now available to pre-order. The beer will also be available to VIP hospitality guests for the duration of the championships. Pre-order yours now at dhillonsbrewery.com/shop.
