ABOUT "TOGETHER WE MAKE FOOTBALL"
In its second year, the Together We Make Football campaign invited anyone who has been touched by the game of football - whether as a player at any level, a coach, a fan, a team or a town - to share a story of why they love the game. Thousands told their stories at TogetherWeMakeFootball.com, which also appear on Facebook.com/TWMF, Twitter.com/TWMF and YouTube.com/TWMF and fans follow the conversation across social media by using #TWMF. This year the finalist stories generated over a million online views and over 250,000 votes cast.
