QF-FC Barcelona Social Media Contest
Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development and FC Barcelona (FCB)’s ongoing partnership aims to unlock human potential among young people through various projects and programmes. The two organisations, which share similar values, are working together to encourage the pursuit of excellence in education, research, science and sport. And, to celebrate this partnership, Qatar Foundation is unveiling a series of events featuring fantastic prize competitions and fan zone screenings, beginning today and continuing over the weeks ahead.
Next week, FCB will battle Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) for a place in the UEFA Champions League semi-final. The clash pits two of European football’s giants against each other, and has a strong local connection, due to PSG’s Qatari ownership and Qatar Foundation’s partnership with FCB.
Starting at 5pm today, Qatar Foundation will be launching a ’48 hours only’ competition, offering a lucky winner and a friend the once-in-a-lifetime chance to fly to Barcelona, then travel with the FCB team to Paris before watching the first leg of the contest at PSG’s iconic Parc des Princes stadium. Entrants must design a photomontage that illustrates the partnership between Qatar Foundation and FC Barcelona, with an emphasis on human development. The competition will be open for just 48 hours and will be hosted through Qatar Foundation’s FCB Facebook page - www.facebook.com/QFFCB
The first leg of the tie will take place on 2 April. That evening, Qatar Foundation will host a ‘fans zone’ event, where a variety of fun-filled sporting competitions will be held, followed by a screening of the big match. The event is open to the public, and attendees will be invited to guess the correct time of the first goal scored in the live game. The contestant whose guess is closest to the right answer will win two tickets to travel to Camp Nou to watch the second leg of the FCB vs PSG tie on 10 April.
On the evening of the second leg, Qatar Foundation will again set up a fans zone, running a similar programme of competitions before a live screening of the game. This time, attendees will be offered the chance to win two tickets to a Primera Liga match at Camp Nou.
