Bid to play at the Boleyn

Bidding is now open to secure a place at one of Football Aid's special tenth anniversary matches.

Football Aid, in association with West Ham United, are once again giving fans the opportunity to bid online to win the chance to pull on the claret and blue and take part in a unique 90-minute match on the hallowed turf at the Boleyn Ground. Taking part alongside the fortunate fans, and helping to guide them through their paces, will be former players of the club.

Since Football Aid's debut season in 2001, supporters from all over the world have been coming together to raise significant funds for the nominated charities. Funds raised from events are distributed through Football Aid's parent charity Field of Dreams and split between Diabetes-related projects and charities nominated by participating clubs.

Past charitable beneficiaries nominated by West Ham have included the Bobby Moore Fund for Cancer Research UK and the Richard House Children's Hospice. These donations, alongside funds donated by other clubs to local and national projects, will allow Football Aid to pledge its £1.5 millionth to charity this season.

Getting involved could not be easier, just visit www.footballaid.com, select your team and position, then place your bid - it really is that simple.
