This week Allianz, global leader in insurance and investment and premium partner of FC Bayern München as well as the naming rights holder of the Allianz Arena, is starting the campaign for a special event in the spring of this year. Within the framework of the "Football for life" project, football fans from all over the world can apply for the "Football World Trip" on www.football-for-life.com. The winner will fly around the globe and work as a reporter.
The month-long journey across four continents and nine countries will begin in the middle of April in Spain with the 249th “El clásico” between reigning Spanish champions FC Barcelona and the royals of Real Madrid. After stopovers in a total of 7 more countries (Australia, Brazil, Brunei, Bulgaria, Ireland, the Netherlands and Turkey), the trip will come to a close on the night of the final between the two best European clubs in the Allianz Arena in Munich on May 19th.
The main focus of the entire exercise, however, is not just the professional football highlights. Football, by far the most popular sport in the world, is in many parts of the world far more than just a sport. Football offers people help, support and guidance in various areas of their lives. Be it through street football projects, youth academies or in the paralympic arena, the sport helps people to gain social skills, develop their personality and individuality and improve their physical and mental abilities. In short: football helps people to move on and up in their lives.
Throughout the journey, the multifaceted nature of football will be the main focus of the reports. Everyone over the age of majority in their country of residence can apply. An interest in and love of football as well as pleasure in traveling and putting together reports are natural prerequisites.
Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, executive board chairman of FC Bayern München AG, is already looking forward to the trip: “As a long-time partner of our club, Allianz almost every year comes up with a new and innovative idea to share football. Concerning the “Football World Trip”, I am really excited to see what happens all over the world. Naturally we are very proud that Allianz Arena, home of FC Bayern München, will also be host and part of this tremendous trip. We look forward to welcoming the “Football World Reporter” to Munich.”
You can keep track of the stops and current reports of the traveling football fan throughout the whole trip on the website www.football-for-life.com or on the social network site Facebook. The football community can look forward to unique insights and experiences.
