Aberdeen FC has introduced a new interactive game for fans in collaboration with Ace Competitions. According to the club, this activity lets supporters forecast the team and setup for the upcoming Premier Sports Cup game versus Kilmarnock this weekend.
Gary Herbert, the club's Business Development Manager, stated the goal is to increase interaction with fans. "We're always looking for innovative ways to engage with our supporters and create additional excitement around matchdays," Herbert said. The introduction of the game occurs as the team seeks to improve its standing.
Supporters can enter their forecast for the first eleven and team shape using a specific website. Participants need to give their contact information and all entries must be in before the club reveals the official matchday squad. The rules allow just one attempt per person. All valid entries submitted on time go into a draw, with the victor picked randomly.
The draw offers several valuable club-related rewards. The successful entrant can obtain hospitality packages for a match, autographed items from the players, and season tickets. Ace Competitions fully funds the contest, and their agreement with Aberdeen FC is for a future season. Jodi Imlach from Ace Competitions shared positive feelings about the collaboration, saying: "Ace Competitions are incredibly proud and excited to partner with Aberdeen Football Club for the 26/27 season."
The predictor centers on the cup match with Kilmarnock, a team Aberdeen recently faced in the league. That outcome continued a period where the team has gained a minimal return from recent league matches. Following the cup game, attention turns to the league, with a challenging away match against Motherwell coming up. Fans can follow the team's upcoming matches by looking at the official fixtures schedule.
The contest rules state one entry per supporter and note that entries stop when the official team list is released. Should more than one person correctly forecast the precise team, a random draw will decide the winner from that group. All winners will be notified using the contact information provided. Supporters wanting to see the available players before entering can look at the squad page. The chosen team for the Kilmarnock game will be shared via the club's normal methods just before the Saturday match begins.
