Collectors of Match Attax Extra football trading cards in Gloucestershire are being encouraged to club together to support local youth football team, Quedgeley Whites, in a bid to give the young players the chance to win a training day with Premier League superstar, Kevin De-Bruyne.

The Grassroots team is incredibly close to securing the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, thanks to generous players, fans, families and locals, who have been collecting and registering unique codes for the team that are printed inside packets of Match Attax Extra trading cards.

The club need to reach the top three and is currently sitting in tenth position on the leader board for the ‘Club Together’ initiative created by Topps, publisher of Match Attax - the world’s best-selling football trading card game. Club Together offers the chance for to grassroots football clubs, community squads, school teams and school classes nationwide to earn unique opportunities.

Upon hearing of the incentive, Quedgeley Whites registered the squad on the Topps Football website and encouraged the community to start collecting the codes in the packets of the current Match Attax Extra collection.

By doing so, it has enabled Quedgeley Whites to work their way up the leader board to first place, as it competes against clubs nationwide to win a series of money-can’t-buy prizes, including the training session with Kevin De-Bruyne and a Premier League manager, a week-long adventure holiday, plus team kits, training equipment and more.

Packets of Match Attax and Match Attax Extra trading cards (£1) each contain a unique Club Together code. Those with packets can help Quedeley Whites by visiting www.toppsfootball.com/club-together.com and clicking the ‘Club Together’ tab. This will take users through to a screen where they can simply register for free to enter codes for the team by selecting them from the list.

Rod Pearson, Marketing Director for Topps, comments: “We are dedicated to giving budding football teams across the country the chance to benefit from our support and from the expertise of heroes and legends on the pitch.

Club Together is Topps’ way of thanking the fans for their continued support throughout the year.

This is our third year running Club Together and it’s really heart-warming to see the smiles on the children’s faces when they meet their football idols.”

“With incredible prizes and unique opportunities available, there has never been a better time for children and Match Attax collectors to club together to help give passionate young footballers a chance to earn life-changing experiences.”
