Anyone with any interest in football grows up going to bed every night dreaming about lacing up for their team. For most of us, however, it doesn’t get much past those bedtime thoughts. For a special few though, that dream turns into a reality. Life comes full circle and running out under those lights you saw as a kid, happens. 

For Chloe Sampson, Loftus Road has always been the goal. From playing grassroots at the age of 5, to getting signed onto the books at QPR at 12 years old. It wasn’t just on the field that Queen’s Park Rangers was the main fixture in Chloe’s life. Through playing for the club, her dad and her formed a special bond following the club. Going to every home together, week after week, ultimately leading to that special day at Wembley. 
This isn’t the first time Chloe has ran out onto Loftus Road. 2 years ago whilst playing for AFC Wimbledon, she took the steps onto that pitch. Special of course, but this weekend will be something different. You can’t overstate the dream being accomplished. After 4 seasons away at Wimbledon, it’s a homecoming. A very special one. 

If you’d like to go down and watch Chloe and QPR FC Women at Loftus Road, tickets are available on the club website.
