Football transcends geographic, cultural and language barriers and with the Chevrolet Fan Cup, we aim to give Indian fans the experience of a lifetime by giving them an opportunity to be at the center of  action at Old Trafford stadium in United Kingdom. Last year, we had taken a fan from Hyderabad to play at an exclusive Chevrolet Fan Cup football tournament and a chance to be coached by Manchester United Legends. We are excited to turn dreams of more fans to realities, this year.” said Jack Uppal, Vice President, Marketing & Customer Experience, Chevrolet India.

While in Manchester, the winners will attend Manchester United’s English Premier League match against Crystal Palace, meet team legends and be trained at the club’s famed soccer school. The highlight of their experience will be the professional match-day experience, including dressing in the players’ locker room and walking through the home club’s tunnel before competing against each other in a tournament on the Old Trafford pitch.
“Walking onto the pitch at Old Trafford is something most fans have dreamt of at some point in their lives but only a small number actually get to experience it,” Richard Arnold, Manchester United Group Managing Director said. “The Chevrolet Fan Cup can make this dream a reality. It is a unique opportunity to connect to the club, giving our supporters the chance to tread on the same ground where some of the game’s best have played, in a stadium that has been the setting for some of football’s most memorable moments.“
