Do you know a football or futsal coach who goes above and beyond for their team? Whether it’s a dedicated parent on the sidelines every weekend or someone making a big impact in your region — this is your chance to celebrate them.

Nominate your community football or futsal coach and they’ll go in the draw to win two hospitality tickets to a New Zealand home game! Plus, Macca’s will also give back to their club.

Every nominator across the entire campaign will go in the draw to win a $150 NZF Store voucher. The winner will be drawn at the conclusion of all McDonald’s competitions and contacted directly.
