The submission process is as follows: 

  • The user must enter the required fields on the competition form and agree to these Terms and Conditions and confirm you have read the Privacy Statement.

In the event that a prize winner cannot provide us with proof of identity and age reasonably acceptable to us, we may withdraw the prize and select another winner.  

5. The competition is restricted to visa-free travellers, or those with a valid Irish passport, resident card and permit holders only. Entrants are solely responsible for securing all requisite travel, immigration, and visa documentation necessary for entry into and subsequent exit from the Republic of Ireland or any other country, and Allianz p.l.c. accepts no liability for any costs, losses, or damages whatsoever arising from an entrant’s failure to secure or possess such documentation.

Where the prize includes a filmed “Coming Home for Match Day” experience, acceptance of the prize includes reasonable filming and publication on the channels listed under clause 17. A selected winner may decline the prize.

13. The prize coordination, including the booking of economy return flights, one night's accommodation, and airport transfers (as detailed in clause 1), is strictly contingent upon the winner providing all necessary travel documentation, including valid passport details, within three (3) calendar days of initial notification, or within such other timeframe as Allianz p.l.c. may reasonably specify, to ensure timely booking and fulfilment. Failure to provide such documentation within the stipulated period may result in forfeiture of the prize. 

14. As a core element of the prize, the winner is required to participate in the creation of filmed and photographic content documenting their “Coming Home for Match Day” experience (the “Content”). 

This may include, without limitation, the capture of content relating to: 

  • the winner’s life abroad prior to travel; 
  • the winner’s journey to Ireland and arrival;

  • the winner’s match day experience before, during and after the designated Allianz Senior Football Championship match.

16. The winner must be reasonably available to participate in such filming as directed by Allianz p.l.c. or its appointed production partners, which will be conducted in a proportionate and respectful manner. If a selected winner is unwilling to participate on this basis, they may decline the prize, in which case Allianz p.l.c. reserves the right to forfeit the prize and select an alternative winner. 

17. In consideration of the prize experience, the winner grants Allianz p.l.c. a non‑exclusive, royalty‑free, worldwide licence to use the Content (including the winner’s image, voice and likeness as captured) for promotional purposes connected with the “Coming Home for Match Day” campaign.
