March, 2022: Shelbourne FC has today announced an exciting new partnership with Culligan as the Club’s new water provider.
With environmental concerns growing, both Shelbourne FC and Culligan recognise the need to make our Club more sustainable.
Alongside this context and to mark World Water Day 2022, Culligan, a leading player in water refining and qualification systems, and Shelbourne FC are today also launching our Plastic-Free Water Initiative, a project to significantly reduce the consumption of water from plastic bottles and reduce the environmental impact caused by the Club.
Culligan water systems have been installed in both Tolka Park and the Shelbourne FC Academy to provide Shelbourne FC players and staff with safe & sustainable high-quality water.
As part of the agreement, Shelbourne FC and Culligan will collaborate extensively on digital media partnerships and player access through 2022 for promotional purposes.
Also included in the partnership is priority in-stadium advertising signage at Tolka Park for Shelbourne FC’s home match days as well as at the Shelbourne FC Academy facility.

We set out before the end of 2021 to become more sustainable throughout the whole club and this is another step in the right direction as we reduce our plastic consumption in Tolka Park and AUL complex. Finally, I would like to thank Brian and all of the team at Culligan for their support.”
