Natalie's fantastic suggestion, Rocco, will now become the official name of our club's friendly bear mascot. As the winning prize, Natalie received an official 2026 FIFA World Cup football.

Thank you to everyone who took part and submitted so many brilliant mascot names. We can't wait to see Rocco cheering on AFC Reading teams at the upcoming AFC Reading Tournament and becoming a favourite with players, families and supporters for years to come.

Congratulations once again, Natalie, and welcome to the AFC Reading family, Rocco!
