Drinks firm Fireball is looking for someone to spend every day at the World Championship. They are in need of a passionate fan who will immerse themselves in the iconic atmosphere held at Ally Pally every year. They will be needing to do anything to get this once in a lifetime opportunity.
The event will begin on 11th December and go on to 3rd January, when the 2026 world champion will lift the prestigious Sid Waddell trophy. Darts will be scheduled on every day aside from the 24-26th December and New Year's Eve. In total, there will be 20 days of action.
The fortunate fan will be attending all of these, and will not be staying far away. They will stay in a branded caravan outside the Palace, venturing through the entrance each day while immersing themselves amongst the party atmosphere in a front-row spot for perfect vision of the exhilarating darts action.
“We wanted to find the biggest fan in Britain; someone who’d bunk off work, skip Christmas drinks and maybe even risk a breakup, all for the love of the darts," Lorenzo Farronato, spokesperson at Fireball, said. "Because at Fireball HQ, we are all about pushing boundaries in the name of fun, sport and sporting fans. The darts Final Boss is that they’ve turned devotion into an art form, and we love to see it."
