Overview

Execution

The concept was shaped from the insight of two target audiences; Football Fans who seek the beauty of the game away from the floodlights and Photographers whose biggest dissatisfaction is the inability to capture images in low light.The solution was, Twilight Football, which was implemented as seven football matches played around the world at twilight, within 24hours.

The locations were selected for their beauty, where football had never been played, providing stunning backdrops to the creative ambition and unique experiences for competition winners.The locations:A floating pitch,VeniceA snow pitch,SwitzerlandA bull ring,SpainTintagel Castle,EnglandIguacu Falls,ArgentinaPinnacle Desert, AustraliaA game reserve,South Africa
