Being a player escort at the FIFA World Club Cup

Last Saturday I was a player escort in the FIFA World Club Cup. It was really fun because I walked out on a football pitch with a player called Jose Gonzalez from a team called Atlante.

Atlante is a Mexican team. It was really fun but we had to wait around for 2 hours before we got to do the first practice. It was boring that part because we weren’t allowed to talk all that time.


When our practice was finished I knew I would do well out on the pitch. The match was in Zayed Sports stadium in Abu Dhabi and the stadium looked a little bit round.


When it was the actual match I was really nervous being looked at by the crowd because I have never experienced being on a real football pitch before. Once I had finished being a player escort I watched the match from the stands.


Atlante beat Auckland 3 - 0.
After the match ended I went to the fan zone and got my face painted.
