The Citizen and the Nationwide Building Society have joined forces to offer our readers the chance to win a family pass to the football event of the year.

The BBC Match of the Day Live Event will take place from April 8 to 11 and the pass allows two adults and two children into the event for a day.

Superstars Michael Owen, Alan Shearer and David Seamen will all attend the event at Birmingham's NEC and model the brand-new Umbro England strip.

Strips will be modelled in the Playstation Football Theatre six times a day and there will be a variety of stands and stalls to visit.

And other stars will be popping up at the event to sign autographs and take part in question and answer sessions.

All of the Premiership clubs will have a stand at the show where fans can find kit and mementos and keen footballers can have a go at street soccer.

Puma are looking for youngsters to take part in the Puma Street Soccer World Finals in Rome and teams of four will battle it out on pitches throughout the NEC to prove they have what it takes to represent England.

Some lucky youngsters will even reap the benefits of coaching from England staff on the pitches to help their skills.

To win the family ticket, simply answer the following question:
