Enjoy the FIFA World Cup 2022 and join in with our #HalfTimeChallenge
As parents start to trim back on spending for sports clubs amid a cost-of-living crisis, and at a time when less than half of young people currently meet the Chief Medical Officer’s recommended daily activity level of 60 minutes, we are launching a new social media competition which aims to inspire families to play together via a series of fun football based challenges that can even be done in the comfort of their living room.
Find out more about the #HalfTimeChallenge campaign in our press release.
During the 2022 tournament, the Youth Sport Trust will release three video challenges via our social media channels below for families to complete. *The competitions are now closed.*
The #HalfTimeChallenge prize draws are now closed. Take a look at the videos below, to keep active and have fun throughout the year.
- Challenge 3: Keepy Uppy (Welsh subtitles)
- Challenge 2: Dribbling challenge (Welsh subtitles)
- Challenge 1: Nearest to the pin (Welsh subtitles)
How to enter
The prize draw is now closed.
- The first on 21 November which is when the Home Countries play their first matches
- The second on 03 December when the knock-out stages begin
- The third on 13 December – the day of the semi-finals.
The videos will test families' football skills with challenges such as nearest to the pin, ‘keepy uppies’ and dribbling accuracy.
At each stage you can upload photos and videos of yourself and your family participating in the challenges, using the hashtag #HalfTimeChallenge and tagging @YouthSportTrust for a chance to WIN one of three Adidas Al Rihla footballs. The official match ball of FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar.

Try our Family Hub
We want to help families to ensure all young people have access to sport and physical activity. As the cost-of-living crisis compounds the already significant impact of COVID-19 we are offering a range of free support options.
We know that healthy, happy children learn better, and our work builds their mental and physical wellbeing and equips them for learning, enabling them to achieve their potential and preparing them for adult life.
