Win a World Cup goodie bag with The Big Issue Shop

Back of the net!

Football! Football! Football! Gooo sports team!

Did you know there is a massive football tournament taking place right now? Neither did we! (Kidding!) To help celebrate we’re giving one reader the chance to bag a Big Issue Shop World Cup goodie bag.

To kick things off (sorry, we couldn’t help ourselves) get your very own Bala sport ball – back of the net! Take it for a kickabout in the back garden and know that while the players are getting millions for the skills on the pitch, skilled workers in India and Pakistan are being paid a fair wage for hand-making these high-quality Fairtrade footballs. Whether you’re inspired to get outdoors or prefer the slob-life, the World Cup is definitely thirsty work. Fill up your very own Jerry bottle for a half-time refreshment. Also perfect for collecting tears when your sweepstake team flops. For every bottle bought, the not-for-profit enterprise funds water projects around the world.  To complete the look, your very own t-shirt from The Big Issue Shop’s World Cup collection. Wear it during your kickabout, or just lying about the couch – we won’t tell.

This competition is now closed. Head here for more competitions from The Big Issue
