Fan’s Rep Nominations: Feb 2027

Aug 11, 2025

Every year on February 6th a supporter-led memorial service takes place at the site of the crash in Munich. This service is organised and led by the MMMF. Part of the service is laying a wreath and reading out the names of the 23 people who died in the tragedy.

In 2018 the MMMF launched “The Fan’s Representative” initiative. Each year the MMMF will select two people to attend the service as Fans Reps. Their role will be to lay the wreath on behalf of the United fans around the world and read out the names of those who died. The two people will be selected at random via a draw which will take place at the MMMF Annual Gala Dinner which this year is on 30th October.

Thanks to the generosity of our sponsor, Headley Media Ltd, the cost of return flights to Munich and two nights hotel accommodation in Munich will be paid for.

IMPORTANT: THE RULES OF ENTRY – PLEASE READ BEFORE COMPLETING THE FORM

To be included in the draw please complete this nomination form: https://forms.gle/xLS5p8F37kz1B6nr6

Due to some negative feedback and comments in the past regarding the exclusion of certain groups of people (why does the child need to be 13 or over? What if I don’t have children, etc), we are publishing below the criteria for applying together with some explanations. To apply…

  • You must not have previously have been selected to be The Fans Rep at the Memorial Service at Munich
  • The child must be aged between 13 and 18 on February 6th 2027. The purpose of this initiative is to ensure the legacy is passed down through generations. The lower age limit has been set based on the duties involved in the role.
  • Ideally the child should be related to you in some way (for example: parent-child; grandparent-grandchild; sibling; aunt/uncle-nephew/niece but in the spirit of inclusivity we will also allow, for example, close family friends)
  • If the child is completing the nomination form, the accompanying adult must be aged over 18
  • You must be based in the UK or Europe. This is simply a case of finance. We have a limited budget and the more that is spent on air travel, the less we have available to distribute to our charities.
  • Closing date for applications is 23rd October 2026
  • Any questions? Please use the contact form to drop us a message:
