Reading Today has teamed up with Carabao Energy Drink to give fans the chance to win a pair of Carabao Cup first-round tickets to Reading v Stevenage.
Currently in its sixth year as the official title sponsor of the Carabao Cup, Carabao Energy Drink is giving football fans across the nation the chance to get behind their club for free, by giving away hundreds of tickets throughout the 22/23 competition.
Last season’s competition saw Liverpool lift the trophy for a record ninth time following an incredible 11-10 penalty shootout victory against Premier League rivals Chelsea.
The thrilling showdown was played out in front of a packed-out Wembley stadium for the first time since the 2020 final, capping off a fantastic season, with fans welcomed back into stadiums across the country.
The early rounds of the competition are the perfect opportunity for EFL fans to enjoy football on a long summer’s evening, catching a first glimpse of their club’s new signings and potential stars of the future.
