World Cup Competition: Congratulations to…

The World Cup in Russia starts this week, and you could be in with a chance of winning this limited-edition football made by our stellar neighbours at Alive & Kicking.

Alive & Kicking is a not-for-profit company that makes durable balls in Africa, prints them with key messages raising health awareness, and donates the balls to schools, youth teams and disadvantaged communities across the world.

They’ve made this unique ball especially for the World Cup; all proceeds support ethical jobs for more than 150 staff making footballs in Ghana, Kenya and Zambia.

To be in with a chance of winning, simply post a comment with your answer to the following question. If Steve was a footballer, who would he be and why?

We’ll announce the winner before the England vs Tunisia game on the 18th.

Good luck!

***Update – Winner Announced***

While watching England claim their first win of the tournament, we browsed the list of weird and wonderful entries to our World Cup Competition.

After all the great entries, we were hard-pressed to pick a winner! But eventually we settled on the brilliant entry from Dave Marrable. Dave said that if Steve was a footballer he would be “René Higuita, the extravagant Colombian goalkeeper’s keeper. A character, an entertainer, a great barnet and a little crazy”.

Congratulations Dave. We’ll get your exclusive World Cup football in the post this week.
