SidhantAmalkant, a NeymarJr’s fan, businessman and
actorfrom Goa just won the opportunity of a lifetime to join one of the most
exclusive teams in the world of sports – a five-a-side football team anchored
by one of the world’s most popular athletes, Neymar Jr. Earlier this year, Red
Bull asked football fans – athletes and non-athletes -from around the world to
submit the best photo, video or boomerang on Instagramalong with a brief story
as to why they deserved more than anyone else, the opportunity to join
#neymarjrsteam at the NeymarJr’s Five World Final, July 21 in Praia Grande,
Brazil. Amalkant’s entry was selected as one of six monthly semi-finalists in
the support staff category before being selected today as the top pick.
This NeymarJr’s Team
global consumer activation on Instagram offered monthly winners merchandises,
few of them made it to a shortlist and Neymar picked his favourite winners to
support his team (1 Player & 1 Supporter role) at the NeymarJr´s World
Final 2018. #NeymarJrsTeam – https://www.neymarjrsfive. com/en/neymarjrsteam.
Sidhant’s prize is a
fast-track to an event that will also host the very best five-a-side football
teams from around the world. For the past year, thousands of athletes from more
than 60 countries on six conteinents have been competing in local and regional
five-a-side football tournaments. Five-a-side is a fast, fun and technical
offshoot of traditional football (soccer). In five-a-side football, there’s no
goalkeeper; whenever a team scores, the opposition loses a player. Each match
lasts 10 intense minutes or until there’s only one team left standing.
Sidhant’s prize package includes round-trip airfare to São
Paulo, Brazil; transportation, hotel and meals; plus VIP access to all related
team practices, parties and press events. He will meet NeymarJr and participate
in team activites before, during and after the finals. Win or lose, it promises
to be the adventure of a lifetime. Sidhant said “ I am super excited to be a
part of such an mazing event and look forward to meet the Brazilian star”
Raquel Benetti, a freestyle footballer from Brazil is the other
lucky winner (player category)
With over 2600 teams, bringing their best to the field, Joga
Bonito Mumbai emerged victorious and became the National Champions of
NeymarJr’s Five 2018. Anthony Machado, Johnson Dsilva, Mervin Stephen,
PreetamMahadik, Daniel Fernandes, Scott Dsouza and Pratik Kadam will now
represent India in the World Finals 2018 at Instituto Projeto Neymar, Brazil,
on July 21st, 2018 and meet the Paris Saint Germain superstar in his own
backyard.
