“We for you, you for us!”
RTL and DFB are looking for fan kids for the EM
“We for you, you for us!” – Under this motto, Mediengruppe RTL is launching the “Be-alike-Kids” campaign together with the national team. We are looking for children who support the DFB team and accompany them on their way to the title at the European Championship.
“You can stroke the ball like Toni Kroos? You lead duels as passionately as Antonio Rüdiger? You find spaces that otherwise only Thomas Müller discovers? You are as positively obsessed with football as Joshua Kimmich? Or you just have one visually Similar to a German international? Great, then you’ve come to the right place! ” With this slogan, RTL and the DFB team are looking for children who will accompany the national team on the way to the European Championship this summer.
Applications with a photo or video can be sent to [email protected] with the subject “We for you, you for us”. The winners will have the opportunity to get to know the DFB stars personally in the course of the possibilities. During the preparation in Seefeld, for example, video switching with the national players is planned. All girls and boys under the age of 18 who are enthusiastic about football and “who identify with the German national players” could apply, according to RTL. Either because they are similar to a player, about the game, their talents or other similarities such as their home club or birthday.
Oliver Bierhoff, Director of the National Teams and the DFB Academy, is enthusiastic about the campaign: “We are delighted with this RTL initiative because we share it with our fans, especially the children and young people, especially in times of distance, before and during the European Championship I hope, of course, that as many boys and girls as possible will take part, and I look forward to their similarities with our players. “
Stephan Schmitter, Managing Director of RTL News, is also looking forward to the project: “Millions of children have not been able to train or experience their idols live in the stadium for over a year make the hard Corona time a pleasure and bring you back together closely with your EM stars. We hope for many applications! “
The “Be-alike-Kids” campaign is accompanied by news and magazine programs, on social media channels and on the platforms of Mediengruppe RTL. RTL will broadcast the last two test matches of the DFB-Elf before the EM on June 2nd. against Denmark and on June 7th against Latvia. There football legend Lothar Matthäus will make his debut as an expert.
