New FA Campaign: Whatever Your Level

Apparently there are not enough of us playing 11-a-side football these days, so the good folk at the FA are trying to do something about it. They’ve launched the ‘Whatever Your Level’ campaign to try and promote the game to armchair pundits and converts to the alternative versions of the sport.

The FA’s excellent film (above) is a cheeky nod to Nike’s  ‘Take it to the Next Level’ ad campaign, instead featuring real teams and depicting what 11-a-side is really like if you fancy trying your hand. Vomit and Vaseline come free. See if you can spot the difference between the amateurs and the professionals:

The FA campaign was previewed at England’s match against Andorra at Wembley last month and will be shown on Sky Sports and Soccer AM in the coming weeks. It’s a very worthy attempt to maintain participation levels at the grass roots level, so look out for the film and get inspired (to play 11-a-side football, not to vomit over your friends).
