Families, sports clubs and football fans are invited to Media City this Saturday (18th June) to show their support for the England Women’s Football Team, ahead of their tournament kicking off this summer.
Thanks to Continental Tyres, Official Partner of the England Lionesses, those who go along can meet former Lioness and Continental Ambassador, Karen Carney, and TalkSport presenter, Laura Woods – as well as getting tournament-ready with a free fan pack complete with Lioness mask and matchday clappers.
There will also be chances to win exclusive prizes in an exciting target shoot challenge – through tyres, of course – a fast-feet challenge and more.
The action-packed event is on from 10am until 4pm, and marks the next stop of Continental Tyres’ ‘Grip the Nation’ tour – travelling the country for two months and igniting football fever – and is completely free to attend.
Pete Robb, Marketing Director at Continental Tyres, said, “The Lionesses are heading into summer in fantastic shape, and we want people right across the country to rally behind them.
There’s no better feeling than when football fever grips the nation – and moments like this also play an important part in inspiring young people to play the game. Saturday’s event promises to be great fun and we’re looking forward to a big turnout. Manchester – come and show your pride!”
A recent survey conducted by Continental Tyres found that watching a professional female athlete or team in action has inspired more than half of girls to take up a new sport.
