The Trade Nations Sweepstake

Whether you’re a football fan, a casual tournament or someone who can’t stand football, YOU could win a grand all thanks to the football over the summer!

This summer, Fix Radio is launching The Trade Nations Sweepstake, giving 48 listeners the chance to represent one of the countries competing in the Men’s FIFA World Cup 2026.

You might end up backing one of the favourites. You might get a total outsider. Either way, you’ll become that country’s Fix Radio ambassador for the tournament, and if your adopted nation goes all the way, you could win £1,000.

How it works

We’re looking for 48 tradespeople to take part.

Each selected listener will be randomly assigned a country in the Men’s FIFA World Cup 2026. Once you’ve got your team, you’re their ambassador for the summer.

That could mean giving us facts about France, tactical insight on Algeria, or just explaining why you’ve suddenly become deeply emotionally invested in Brazil.

You don’t have to be a football expert. In fact, that might help.

What can you win?

The prizes are:

  • Winning country ambassador: £1,000
  • Runner-up country ambassador: £500
  • Third-place country ambassador: £250
  • Most Passionate Fan: £250

The Most Passionate Fan prize will be decided by a Fix Radio panel of judges, so even if your country gets knocked out early, you can still win by throwing yourself into it properly.

How to enter

  • Text FIX SWEEPSTAKES to 81400 between Saturday 23rd May and 09:00 on Monday 1st June.
  • Entries will only be open during this period, so keep listening and get involved when you hear the instructions on air.

What happens next?

We’ll make the draw after 9am on Monday 1st June

If you’re one of the lucky 48 listeners selected, we’ll contact you to let you know which country you’ll be representing for the tournament.

Then it’s over to you. Get behind your team, follow their progress, and show us why you’re their number one trades ambassador!
