To celebrate ten years since our very first A-League match, Wellington Phoenix are offering a chance to win a bus to our very next A-League match – follow the instructions below and win!
On Sunday 26 August 2007 Wellington Phoenix played their first ever A-League match, in front of 14,421 at Westpac Stadium.
Steven Old became the first Phoenix player in history to pick up a yellow card after eight minutes before Victory captain Kevin Muscat’s penalty just evaded the outstretched hand of Glen Moss as the Nix conceded in the 19th minute.
Melbourne sharp-shooter Danny Allsopp doubled the visitor’s lead in the 60th minute, but it didn’t last long. Brazilian import and instant fan-favourite Daniel fired home Wellington’s first ever goal, before All Whites and Nix legend Shane Smeltz doubled the dose just five minutes later.
2-2 it finished that day. It was a spirited start, and with the sun out a cracking day for all in the stands!
Now, to mark the start of our second decade as a professional football club, Wellington Phoenix would like to invite you to join in the celebrations!
The prize: Win a chartered bus for your schoolmates or club football teammates, a return trip to Westpac Stadium, and up to forty tickets to our Round 1 Hyundai A-League clash against Adelaide United!
The task: Simply shoot a short video (up to 30 seconds) and tell us/show us why you deserve to win. Sing us a song, show us your best juggling or football skills, do a choreographed dance with your mates – whatever you think will be good enough to win!
Then, share this on your Facebook, Instagram or Twitter account, and make sure you tag us – @Wellington Phoenix FC (Facebook), @WgtnPhoenixFC (Twitter), @wellingtonphoenix (Instagram), otherwise we won’t see your entry!
Mandatory inclusions: There are two phrases you must have somewhere in your video (either spoken, or on a sign) – “October 8, Save the Date” and “Come on you Nix!”
Without BOTH of these, you can’t win!
Age limit: You must be under 16 to enter.
Deadline for applications: Wednesday 20 September, 2017
Good luck! And remember – October 8, Save the Date! COYN!
