Win a day in the life of a Lioness by playing football for the Mirror at St George's Park

Ever dreamed of living a day in the life of a Lioness?

Well, now you can thanks to our exclusive Mirror competition.

We're offering a lucky reader the chance to play in a Women's Football tournament at St George's Park, the training base of Sarina Wiegman's European champions.

Channel your inner Leah Williamson by getting match-ready in the Lionesses dressing rooms at the FA's official training HQ and test out your Alessia Russo skills on one of the FIFA-approved state of the art 3G practice pitches at the Burton base.

The Mirror is putting together a team to take part in the first Female Copa Del Cure Leukaemia - a six-a-side football tournament from which all proceeds are donated to Cure Leukaemia.

We're assembling a squad of 9 for the competition on Friday, March 31 - and we've got several places up for grabs for Mirror readers.

Each team will be coupled with a female football legend on the day as they look to lift the first ever Female Copa Del Cure Leukaemia trophy.

To be entered for the competition, budding female footballers need to be 18 or over, with a reasonable level of fitness. All standards of football ability are welcome.

Players will be kitted out with our Mirror-branded kit including shirt, shorts, socks and water bottle.

Tournament snacks will be provided during the event and players will be invited to the post-event dinner as part of our Mirror team.

Players will be expected to bring their own footwear and shinpads and to arrange their own travel and accommodation as required.

Cure Leukaemia is a charity which battles to eradicate all forms of blood cancer. You can find out more about their vital work here.

Former England international, and now Sky Sports pundit, Sue Smith is signed up to play in the tournament and other former stars will be announced during the next month.

Smith was the first female ex-pro to play in the Copa del Cure Leukaemia last October. Tournaments such as these are part of Cure Leukaemia’s “FINISH IT!” campaign, which calls on football fans across the world to raise money to help launch a new UK-wide paediatric clinical trials programme that will deliver innovative treatments to children with blood cancer.

She told the Mirror: "The football community often come together for things like this and I think this is another opportunity for the football community to get together and raise the profile of blood cancer so people are aware of it but also raise as much money as possible for treatment and research. As soon as I got asked to do that I wanted to be involved and then they spoke to me about doing an all-female event which is going to be this year which again is fantastic."

Here's how you can be in with a chance of winning a place on our Mirror team.
