Synopsis
24 young footballers compete against each other in a series of six tasks designed to test their football skills. These tasks take place in a variety of urban settings from multi-storey car parks to petrol stations. Each task requires the contestants to display a number of skills from dribbling around obstacles, to heading, to striking targets with the ball. At the end of each task, Wayne Rooney, together with his football consultants, decide which which contestants will progress and which will be eliminated. This process continues until there are only three contestants left to take part in the final challenge. After this, and following a final discussion with his football consultants, a winner is declared.
In the first series, the winner won a trip to a soccer training camp in Brazil, while the winner of the second series received a trip to the 2010 World Cup Final in South Africa, as well as joining Wayne for the British leg of the FIFA World Cup Trophy Tour.
