BT have once again shown magnificent support and joined forces with Football Aid, allowing football fans the opportunity to represent their country and play on the hallowed turf at the magnificent Hampden Park National Stadium in 2012.
Our magical events allow Scotland supporters to ‘Live the Dream’ in an authentic match day experience. Players will gain exclusive access to the pitch and tunnel areas, pull on their own personalised shirt in the official changing rooms, walk down the tunnel to the sound of a cheering crowd and ultimately step out on to the hallowed turf and represent their nation in a never to be forgotten 90 minutes of football.
The matches have also been supported by a host of Scottish legends, with the likes of Danny McGrain, Paul Lambert, Scott Booth, Gary McCallister, Pat Nevin, and many more all lending their valuable support in recent years, by playing alongside or managing the supporters in the hugely enjoyable matches at Hampden Park.
Getting involved couldn’t be easier, just visit www.footballaid.com, select Scotland International and your position, then place your bid – it really is that simple. And with most starting bids for positions at just £170, booking a position could turn out to be the best bargain you’ll ever bag! Bidding is open from now until the middle of March, depending on what position you want to play.
So if you're keen to secure your place on your Field of Dreams this season, why not visit www.footballaid.com today to make sure you're part of the team! Alternatively if you’d like any additional information, you can call Football Aid on 0131 220 5999 or email info@footballaid.com.
