Vauxhall Reveals ‘fans Fixtures’?

As part of the activation of its Home Nations football sponsorships,
Vauxhall is staging special fans’ fixtures at Wembley and Windsor
Park.? ?

Supporters can win the chance to line up for a
once-in-a-lifetime footballing opportunity by playing on the most
hallowed football turf in Wembley and Belfast.? ?

Vauxhall’s ‘Big
Pitch’ programme allows the general public to follow in the footsteps
of such greats as David Beckham, Peter Shilton and George Best.? ?

The
England fixture will take place at Wembley on 11th August – the morning
after the international match between England and Holland. The Northern
Irish fans fixture will be held at Windsor Park on 28th July.

Vauxhall marketing director Peter Hope said: ‘Football is all about fans and we wanted to devise a truly unique engagement’.?

‘As a company we consistently strive to be innovative and
forward-thinking, and using our national stadium pitch games in this way
enables us to engage the hearts and minds of the English and Northern
Irish fans’.?

‘We will be having former playing legends as team
managers in both games and will ensure that all the winners enjoy the
experience of a lifetime’.? ?

Winners will be paired into two
teams who will contest a full 90 minute fixture., and will keep their
own personalised national team kits – complete with their names on the
back of the shirts.? ?

Winners will also be managed by former
international legends, and there will be guest former international
players acting as captains on the pitch.? ?

Competitions to
choose players will be held across Vauxhall’s newly-launched Football
Facebook page with entrants having to ‘pitch’ for their place for the
chance of playing at Wembley, and through the Northern Ireland facebook
page for Windsor Park.? ?

In addition, additional places can be won through competitions hosted by targeted national and regional media partners.? ?

Winners will get tickets to see a senior international home fixture as part of their prize.
