Serie A: TIM launch a competition for children to accompany players onto the field before matches

The Italian mobile operator TIM has organised the "Bimbi in campo 2016" ("Kids on the pitch 2016") competition, offering children, aged between 7 to 10 years old, the chance to accompany the players onto the pitch at all 10 Serie A TIM matches from 06/03/2016 (Matchday 28) to 15/05/2016 (Matchday 38).

The competition is only available to enter for TIM customers. Those hoping to enter the competition must visit the website "www.bimbincampo.timcalcio.it" to enter their mobile phone number and indicate which of the 10 available matches they would like to attend. For each of the 10 avalaible matches, nine children will be selected. A total of 270 matches tickets will be distributed; one for each child and for their two companions.

TIM has organised the "Bimbi in campo" competition every season since 2009-10. The mobile operator has been the title partner of the Italian first division since 1998. The naming agreement between the two parties was extended on 11/03/2015 until the end of the 2017-18 season.
