avoidance of doubt these Provisions apply with regard to any and all such individual challenges for the Contest. The winner of the

any other aspect of the Contest. Notwithstanding the above, due to legal restrictions, prizes referred to for the Contest will only be
attributed to Players with legal residence/domicile in the following territories: all countries (other than Poland, Italy, Norway,

accepted by his/her parent or legal guardian. FIFA has the right in its sole discretion to amend or not to allocate a Contest prize won
by a Minor. In the event that a Contest prize which involves travel, attendance at an event and/or overnight accommodation is won
by a Minor, he/she must be accompanied for the duration of the trip/ event at all times by a parent/ legal guardian. In this regard
where the Contest prize only provides for travel, attendance and/or accommodation for one person, then all expenses for the
accompanying parent/ legal guardian shall be the responsibility of such person.

5.

Players acknowledge that should they win a Contest prize of a trip to any FIFA event or competition, any and all
ticketing/accreditation provisions applicable to such an event shall apply. Players (and their guest where applicable) are solely
responsible for fully complying with such provisions and must meet at all times all criteria contained in such provisions or risk
forfeiture of the Contest prize.

restitution) against FIFA, its bodies, officers, agents, employees, volunteers, sponsors and any other entity or person acting on their
behalf should the purpose of such ancillary expenses be or become in whole or in part frustrated for any reason whatsoever (e.g., an

event for which a Contest prize winner won a trip cannot, for whatever reason, be carried out as scheduled or winners are prohibited
from attending a specific event/football match, for whatever reason). The winner is responsible for arranging all necessary travel
visas for himself (and where applicable his/her guest). Insurance is the winners own responsibility (with regard to both themselves
and any guest), in this regard where a Contest prize involves travel, winners must ensure that they (and where applicable their guest)
have appropriate travel insurance cover for the duration of their trip. FIFA reserves the right to require the winner of any such
Contest prize and their guest to sign an additional waiver to these Provisions prior to awarding any prize.
7.

All winners of the Contest will be notified by e-mail. In the event that FIFA is not able to contact the winner by email (i.e. the winner
does not respond to the email within seven (7) days of FIFA sending the relevant email to the winner), FIFA shall be entitled to select
an alternative Player. Please refer to the Rules of the Contest for further information on winners criteria. No interest will be paid on
any prize. Prizes may not be transferred without the prior written consent of FIFA. Players cannot request a cash alternative or

any warranty, representations, guarantees, expressed or implied, in fact or in law, relative to the quality, conditions, fitness, or
merchantability of any aspects of the prizes. By participating in the Contest, each Player, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
