LIDL Northern Ireland is on the hunt for a football team-sized local squad to represent the region as official player escorts in Germany this June.
·Lidl Northern Ireland is using its UEFA EURO 2024TM partnership to give 11 lucky local children a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
·The Lidl Kids Team programme will see children from across Europe take on the celebrated role of player escort at all UEFA EURO 2024matches.
·Legal guardians have the opportunity for their child to head out onto the pitch with a player by entering the competition on the Lidl Plus App.
Lidl is an official partner of Euro 2024 which takes place across a range of world class stadia in three-times winner Germany. The 11 lucky children from Northern Ireland, along with an accompanying legal guardian, will join almost 1,100 other children from across Europe as part of its Lidl Kids Team programme where young football fans can fulfil their dream and help lead the continent’s best players to victory in front of tens of thousands of fans at a Euro finals match.
Winning participants also get to enjoy a two-night, jam-packed itinerary filled with fun, entertainment, hospitality and memorable local and educational experiences with all flights from Dublin, travel and accommodation paid for.
Legal guardians can enter the lottery-style competition by using the Lidl Plus App on behalf of their child and everyone, regardless of gender, physical or mental ability, is encouraged to enter by completing the in-app entry form. Winners will be randomly selected so everyone has an equal chance of winning a place.
The free-to-enter competition launches on Thursday, April 18 and will be open for entries until Wednesday, April 24.
Lidl Northern Ireland Regional Managing Director, Ivan Ryan, said: “Working with UEFA, we’re delighted to be able to offer this truly unique prize to our customers in Northern Ireland as part of our ever-expanding offerings via our Lidl Plus App.
“For our half a million weekly shoppers across the region, we want to show customers that we’re on their team. Whether that’s finding the best possible prices to make their food shop more affordable, offering the freshest, quality locally sourced produce, or giving them access to one of the biggest football tournaments out there, Lidl Plus has got them covered.”
Successful entrants from Northern Ireland will not only win the player escort experience, but they will enjoy an all-expenses paid and fully accessible travel experience to Germany for both the child and legal guardian, ensuring that every winner can participate in this exciting experience whatever their situation.
Lidl Northern Ireland will also be rolling out additional competitions and chances to win as part of its Euro 2024 celebrations in May via the Lidl Plus App.
