SPECSAVERS is looking for the worst football team in the country.
The nationwide search to find a grassroots adult football team who are in desperate need of a little help will see the winning team benefit from face-to-face training from a world class footballing legend, along with a money-can’t-buy experience that is usually reserved for elite clubs.
Sean Caskey, director at Specsavers in Wokingham, said: ‘For decades, Specsavers has celebrated and made heroes of those who really “Should’ve gone to Specsavers”. This year, we’re taking our commitment to celebrating human moments to the next level, by investing in an underfunded area of culture which relies heavily on excellent sight and hearing – grassroots football.
“We want to give this community of heroes a taste of fame – celebrating them and their humanness in a way that only they can dream about. So that’s why we want local clubs to come forward and apply for the chance to be Specsavers’ ‘Best Worst Team’ and all the glory that comes with it.’
Once the Specsavers’ Best Worst Team has been selected, the healthcare retailer will be following and documenting the club’s journey throughout the 2023/24 season.
