Blues Bag Fan Experience Award
Everton Football Club picked up the Best Fan Experience honour at the Fanalyse Awards on Thursday.
The Blues collected the accolade in Cardiff ahead of other shortlisted clubs Leicester City, Seattle Sounders and Liverpool, as well as the Wimbledon tennis tournament.
The award was in recognition for the Club's matchday engagement with its young supporters, a focus no more evident than in the annual Junior Fan Day. Each year a fixture is designated to celebrate the younger generation of Toffees, with activity and entertainment throughout the day as well as unique opportunities for junior Blues to take on matchday roles with the staff.
In addition, Everton are also the first club to have its own Junior Fans' Forum - a group aged between 11 and 17 who meet to provide feedback, ideas and suggestions to the Club, while also working on projects and initiatives.
Scott McLeod, Head of Engagement, said: "This award is recognition of the great work done across the Club to improve and enhance the matchday experience for fans - and our young fans in particular. It is also a reflection of what can be achieved when the Club and supporters, through groups such as the Fans' Forum and Junior Fans' Forum, work together to share ideas and create memorable experiences."
The honour follows a double win at the recent Football Business Awards, where the Club picked up prizes for Best Fan Engagement and Best Marketing Initiative, while Everton in the Community were crowned the Premier League Community Club of the Year at this week's Northwest Football Awards.
