From FFIT to Final!

FFIT Participants to take to the main stage at Hampden.

The Scottish League Cup Final, presented by QTS, is growing closer with only 12 days to go until Dundee United play Celtic on Sunday March 15.

For 10 lucky Football Fans in Training (FFIT) participants it will be a dream day - each club has been asked to select five FFIT supporters to represent their club for the ‘Half-time Challenge.’ Players from each team will be given 10 seconds to get from the halfway line to the opposing goal in an attempt to score their dream goal in front of a capacity crowd.

Both League Cup semi-finals featured the same challenge, with an overwhelming response from the crowd. Both teams received a standing ovation from their fellow fans (every football fans’ dream regardless of their age) all in the spirit of the game and for a bit of fun.

The final is also set to feature three mascots from both sides. Each child will lead their teams out of the tunnel just before kick-off, accompanied by club captains (Seán Dillon and Scott Brown)!

It will be a memorable experience to walk out of the tunnel and feel what it’s like to be in the heart of an atmosphere that is unquestionably able to give you a shiver or 10 down your spine. This will certainly be an experience that these children will remember for the rest of their lives, regardless of the final score.

We would like to wish the participants and mascots all the best for the League Cup Final and hope that they enjoy this amazing once-in-a-lifetime experience.
