KEEN footballers can join a race to win £1m in a competition in Thornaby.

Asda in the town is joining Pepsi and Walkers to offer customers the chance to "kick for £1m".

On Saturday, April 12, the store will be hosting the first round of the competition.

Customers of all ages and ability are invited to take a shot at a special goal in the car park to try to win a prize.

One lucky footballer will win the chance to go through to the second round and get nearer to the £1m.

The second stage of the competition will be held in the coming months with winners from around the country receiving football training before being put in a real match and their performances judged by professionals.

The best players will get the chance to kick for £1m at the grand final.
