The lucky winners get to access all areas otherwise closed to the public, such as the press area and the technical hub. Another highlight is being able to watch the players warm up directly from the side lines. The Back Stadium Tour is rounded off by a VIP ticket from Hankook.
Centre Circle Carrier programme
With the Centre Circle Carrier programme, Hankook is literally putting young football fans at the centre of the action of a UEFA Europa League match. They become part of the opening ceremony and are allowed to carry the centre circle banner. By giving young people who have lost loved ones in a car accident a special chance to become a Centre Circle Carrier, Hankook is striving to draw attention to the subject of traffic safety.
