Fulham FC: club gives 4-12 year olds the opportunity to become "virtual mascots" for home games

Fulham FC (Premier League) has launched the "Virtual Fulham FC Mascot" programme, which will see three of the club's young fans designated as 'virtual mascots' for every game played at Craven Cottage (25,700 capacity) until the end of the 2020-21 Premier League season, announced the club on 21/01/2021.

"With football taking place behind closed doors, traditional mascot packages have been unavailable since last season. However, supporters between the ages of 4-12 can now enjoy a unique matchday experience from home, becoming an official Virtual Fulham FC Mascot," explained the English club.

The "virtual mascot" status will entitle each of the youngsters - selected via a random draw - to receive a digital "Matchday Mascot Certificate", have their name and/or image featured on the big screens and LED signage at Craven Cottage during a match and in the official matchday programme. They will also receive a digital letter from Fulham FC coach Scott Parker and a personalised video featuring a player from first team.
