FA Cup To Celebrate Fans’ Adventures

The FA Cup visited the South Pole this week as part of an initiative from the competition calling for fans to celebrate the adventure of the tournament.

Renowned across the world, the famous trophy travelled to the southernmost point on Earth with adventure photographer, Martin Hartley on his latest assignment – who will be working with the FA over the course of the 2014/15 season to capture ‘the adventure of the FA Cup’.

Fans are being encouraged to submit their own FA Cup adventure pictures via Twitter using the hashtag #FACupAdventure, for inclusion in an FA Cup 2014/15 Adventure Book.

Hartley said: ‘The similarities between the adventures I go on, and the FA Cup is clear to see. Both provide edge of seat moments, victory against the odds and heartbreaking moments of being so close, yet so far away.’

‘Taking the FA Cup to the South Pole was a truly exciting and unique journey, but it is just the beginning. I look forward to seeing what football fans up and down the country capture at FA Cup match days.’

Fans who provide content will be in with a chance to win prizes throughout the competition, including tickets to the FA Cup Final, whilst young football fans are being given the chance to take the FA Cup on a series of their own adventures including taking it to school with them or having a sleepover with it. Entries for this competition can be made via the FA Cup Facebook page.
