The winners of the 2023 Dream Trip were treated to a packed programme in Wolfsburg, filled with everything they could possibly wish for. Last weekend, the Wolves welcomed Sam Hargett (winner of a USA-wide campaign with Jake Barford and ESPN), Casey Bednarczyk (winner of a regional campaign with the Chicago Red Stars and Arielle Chambers) and fiancée Melissa Korniejczuk, and 14-year-old Evelin Juarez Ramirez (who took part in the StrongHER campaign) with guardian Katelyn Newsome. Influencers Jake Barford and Arielle Chambers also made the trip, along with Rachel C. Parrish, who is head of marketing for the Chicago Red Stars.
After touching down in Germany, they spent their first hours in the country at the Volkswagen Drive.studios in Berlin. That evening, a first surprise was in store for them in Wolfsburg with Kevin Paredes spending plenty of time with them as they enjoyed their dinner.
The competition winners were then given a tour of the stadium on Friday, which included a quick peek at the men’s team’s final training session of the week, before checking out the VfL-FußballWelt exhibition.
Since there is much more to Wolfsburg than the history of VfL, our US visitors then went on a factory tour of Volkswagen, which was rounded off with a meet and greet with Lukas and Felix Nmecha. They then got to see the VfL-Center, in the company of team manager Philipp Wegner.
