Vodafone to Sponsor Brazil’s Play Fair Fiji Tour

British Multinational company, Vodafone has obtained the naming rights for the Play Fair Brazil Fiji Tour 2012 to be held next month.

As part of its sponsorship, Vodafone has secured 650 prime location grandstand tickets for two of the venues in Lautoka and Ba.

The telecommunication giants is expected to announce a “text and win” promotion commencing next week that will allow its customers a chance to win the 650 grandstand tickets to watch the matches free.

The winners of these tickets will get best seats to enjoy the two matches. Fans will also get opportunities for photo sessions with the team and chance to win autographed soccer merchandise.

Vodafone’s acting managing director Pradeep Lal said the tour provided Fiji soccer fans with the best chance to witness former World Cup winners playing against our national side.

“We are providing a once in a lifetime opportunity to our soccer fans to witness a world class soccer team right here in our backyard,” he said.

“Realistically, this is probably the closest 99.99 percent of us will ever get to see a team from a country that is synonymous with Soccer World Cup.

“While some players on the tour to Fiji have played in the Brazilian National team, many of the others could easily have made it into their own or many other national teams around the world. Such is the level of talent in Brazil.”

“Vodafone is working towards making this a memorable soccer experience for the soccer loving public in Fiji and at the same time rekindle interest in the sports at the grassroots level with some organized soccer clinics involving the touring players.”
