Create your own memorable moment at this year's Play on the Pitch event at the Stadium of Light this May!

Following in the footsteps of Ball, Quinn, Phillips and Defoe, the event offers fans and aspiring players an exclusive opportunity to take their place in the players’ dressing rooms before they walk through the tunnel for a full-length match of the beautiful game.

As well as including drinks in the dressing room, each team will receive a souvenir team photo to commemorate the day. And after the action, teams will enjoy a hearty meal in one of the Stadium of Light’s historic hospitality suites, with the opportunity to invite family and friends.

Finally, in true matchday style, a Man of the Match presentation will reward the stars of the day.
