The Foundation of Light is hosting a special event called Kids’ Play on the Pitch during the May half-term holidays.
Children aged three to 14 will be able to play on the Sunderland AFC turf.
The event on Wednesday, May 28, will allow children to run out of the tunnel, play on the pitch, and have their photograph taken pitchside.
Each participant will also receive a commemorative certificate.
There are one-hour time slots available for 6-14 year-olds starting from 8am, with the last slot at 1pm.
There is also a 45-minute slot for 3-5 year-olds at 2.15pm.
The price for the 6-14 year-olds is £30, while the 3-5 year-olds can participate for £25.
Registration will be at the Beacon of Light, with all players being chaperoned to the Stadium of Light.
Spectators are welcome to watch from the West Stand, and refreshments will be available at the Yard Nine café.
