Support your local football club and win the trip of a lifetime

- By Ben Bell Ōmokoroa Football Club

With the Football World Cup kicking off in October, a local supporter could win two return flights to Doha plus 13 nights’ accommodat­ion with match tickets to attend three World Cup pool play matches thanks to the New Zealand Football Foundation Lottery.

If one of the Ōmokoroa Football Club members wins, you’ll be given the keys to the club’s Facebook page, and we’ll ask you to fill it full of FOMO-inducing photos while in Qatar for the rest of our members!

Eight double packages are up for grabs giving 16 New Zealanders the opportunit­y to win a trip of a lifetime. Moreover, for every local club that sells 100 tickets, $10 of the $20 ticket price will be donated back to the club. So not only do you have the chance to win an outstandin­g trip, but you are also supporting grassroots community football.

Ōmokoroa Football Club features players from Pahoia, Whakamāram­a, Te Puna, and, of course, Ōmokoroa. We have a strong Minis and Junior Football roster, with our players taking part in competitio­ns with local Tauranga Football Clubs as part of the WAIBOP Football Federation. Our club is run by a committed team of volunteers and provides an enjoyable winter sporting code for the local community.

For $20, you’ll be helping the club reap a cash return from the NZ Football Federation which will go back into our club to help out with upcoming programmes including Friday night Futsal, summer sixa-side, and summer coaching.

If you’ve been thinking about getting a ticket, visit footballfo­undation.org.nz and click on the link ‘Get your tickets now’ and buy one (or more). Even better get your aunties, uncles, grandies etc to buy one for the club too.
