As a FIFA partner, Sony has exclusive rights to offer soccer fans the opportunity to act as a flag bearer at FIFA World Cup matches. A group of six flag bearers are entitled to walk out on to the pitch before the teams, holding the official FIFA Flag.
This is a money-can't-buy opportunity that Sony is proud to make possible for one New Zealand soccer fan to be part of the flag bearer group at the New Zealand v (defending champions) Italy match in the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. This match will be played in the city of Nelspruit (pronounced Nel sprate) on 20 June 2010.
The selected child will travel to the event with a parent or guardian. In South Africa, they will be accommodated and provided with fun activities and sightseeing.
The Sony Flag Bearer will receive an official FIFA Flag Bearer uniform, a rehearsal T-shirt and souvenir gifts.
Because this is such an amazing opportunity, we want the New Zealand FIFA Flag Bearer to be able to share what the experience is like on Campbell Live and via the internet. So part of the prize package will be a Sony VAIO notebook, Cyber-shot camera, and a Handycam to upload video, and photos to friends, family and followers while they are in South Africa, as well as a Walkman MP3 player with Noise Cancelling headphones to enjoy their favourite tracks while travelling.

The Sony New Zealand FIFA Flag Bearer will receive:
Return airfares for the Sony New Zealand FIFA Flag Bearer and their parent/guardian from Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch or Dunedin to Johannesburg (dates to be confirmed to fit competition)
