Football Aid 2017 – Play At Loftus Road!

How would you like to ‘Live The Dream’ at Loftus Road and take part in a truly memorable 90-minute match on the hallowed turf?

Well now’s your chance as Queens Park Rangers have teamed up with Football Aid – www.footballaid.com – to provide fans with the unique opportunity to create their very own piece of club history by playing at Loftus Road in 2017, while raising valuable funds for charity at the same time.

Football Aid have been organising charity games for over 15 years now and are regarded as the original and best in delivering the ultimate pitch day experience. The games offer QPR fans the unrivalled opportunity to experience a matchday in the same way the likes of Alex Smithies, Nedum Onuoha, Tjaronn Chery and co do every other week, and as a player you’ll get the chance to pull on your very own exclusive personalised QPR replica shirt in the official changing rooms, experience the thrill of walking down the tunnel to the sound of a cheering crowd and step out onto the hallowed turf proudly sporting your official playing kit and represent The R`s in a never to be forgotten 90 minutes of football!

To add to that, the matches at Loftus Road have also been supported by a host of fantastic QPR legends in recent years, with the likes of Andy Sinton, Rufus Brevett, Kevin Gallen, Steve Gallen, Danny Shittu, Martin Rowlands, Wayne Fereday and Richard Langley all lending their extra special support by playing alongside or managing the fans on their big day.

Securing your position couldn’t be easier, just visit www.footballaid.com and choose the Queens Park Rangers game and then you’ll have two Fixed Price options: Option 1: Buy Now – Book your place with a one off payment, or Option 2: Sponsored to Play – Pay a non-refundable £100 deposit for your place, then pay the remaining balance anytime before Friday 27th Jan 2017.

QPR fan Paul Sissons took part in 2016 and told Football Aid about his experience after the game:

“I had a fantastic time at Loftus Road. The chance to play on the same pitch I’ve watched players on for many years was amazing. Dan Shittu was a great guy, and was very happy to chat, have pictures taken and sign autographs. Very happy to be on the winning side, in a game that was played in a friendly but competitive spirit. I even got the chance to be interviewed for the DVD – felt like a real pro. Despite saying I would be too old to play again, I am already looking forward to next year! Can’t recommend this highly enough, anybody thinking about taking part should do it”.
