Abu Dhabi: Young Manchester City fans in the UAE could win a once-in-a-lifetime trip to the club’s home Premier League game with Watford on Wednesday, December 14.
Healthpoint, a regional health care partner of City, has announced a mascot competition on its social-media platforms for children aged between five and 12.
The competition encourages parents to post a photo or 30-second video of their child showing their support for the Citizens on Instagram and Twitter. The video could be of their child analysing a game, expressing how much he/she loves the club, or even imitating their favourite City star scoring a goal or celebrating. For submissions to be considered, all posts must mention @HealthpointUAE and the hashtag #HealthpointMCFC.
Dr Nader Darwich, Medical Director, Healthpoint, said: “Children often discover a passion towards a particular sport and many of the children in the UAE happen to love football. As one of the leading centres for sports-related injuries, prevention and rehabilitation in the Middle East, Healthpoint’s continued relationship with Manchester City Football Club as a regional health care partner affords us the perfect opportunity to encourage children to develop an interest in football.
“We want to enhance that passion by giving a child the chance to win the trip of his/her lifetime to be a mascot at the English Premier League game.”
Successful submissions will be shown on Healthpoint’s website www.healthpoint.ae under a page called: Social Media Competitions>Show Your Blue Spirit>Submissions.
The competition closes on Monday, November 21 and the winner will be announced at 3pm UAE time on November 23 on Healthpoint’s Facebook live page.
