LEDVANCE brings young fans onto the pitch: player escorts experience season highlight with SV Werder Bremen up close
Creativity in the spotlight: children design their own lamps on the theme of football for a chance to win a spot on the field
Walking hand in hand with top stars of the Bundesliga into the stadium – this dream could soon become a reality for eleven children. LEDVANCE, one of the world’s leading providers of lighting solutions, is searching for player escorts for the Bundesliga match between SV Werder Bremen and FC Bayern Munich on the weekend of February 14, 2026, as part of a creative competition.
How the player escorts are selected
Instead of a classic prize draw, LEDVANCE is focusing on creativity this year: children aged six to nine are invited to design a lamp on the theme of football. It doesn’t matter whether the result is painted, crafted, or drawn. The focus is on the joy of light, football, and the power of imagination. The winners will be selected by a qualified jury, including representatives from the LEDVANCE marketing and sales team.
What awaits the winners
The selected young fans will walk onto the pitch hand in hand with a professional player from FC Bayern Munich. As a memento of this unforgettable day, they will also get to keep the original player escort outfit in their size. In addition, each child will receive a ticket for an accompanying adult, who will also be able to experience this unique event live in the stadium. Last year, children from the Caritas Youth Care Center St. Vinzenz in Landshut enjoyed this special experience. In 2026, the winners can once again look forward to an unforgettable day, which will be captured in a video.
Proven lighting expertise for sports facilities
With this competition, LEDVANCE once again underscores its commitment to young football fans and its expertise in sports and outdoor lighting. As the official lighting partner of SV Werder Bremen, the company has not only planned and implemented the new lighting system at Bremen’s Weserstadion, but has also realized innovative and efficient lighting concepts in sports stadiums such as the BayArena in Leverkusen. But LEDVANCE doesn’t just illuminate large arenas: whether it’s football, handball, go-kart tracks, or athletics – the company offers a wide range of innovative solutions for sports facilities of all sizes. This means that smaller clubs and sports venues also benefit from the company’s modern lighting concepts and many years of experience. With the player escort project in Bremen, LEDVANCE is now taking a creative approach and rewarding the imagination of the next generation of football fans.
