Emirates, Visa Showcase 2014 FIFA World Cup Trophy
Emirates an Official FIFA Worldwide Partner and sponsor of the FIFA
World Cup helped give football fans a taste of the action recently, when
the 2014 FIFA World Cup Winners Trophy was displayed in Dubai Airport’s
new Concourse A facility.
In anticipation of the Brazil-hosted FIFA Confederations Cup 2013
this June, and the subsequent FIFA World Cup next year, Emirates crew
from Brazil met football fans as they gathered to catch a glimpse of the
2014 FIFA World Cup Trophy.
“Our sponsorship of the FIFA World Cup allows us to strike a chord
with football fans around the world, sharing and supporting their
passion for this truly global sport,” said Boutros Boutros, Divisional
Senior Vice President, Corporate Communications, Emirates. “It has been
rewarding for us to be able to give football fans and Emirates
passengers access to the 2014 FIFA World Cup Winners Trophy, thanks to
fellow FIFA partner Visa.
We continually look for opportunities to bring fans closer to the
game they love.”
The 2014 FIFA World Cup Winners Trophy was brought to the GCC by
Visa, another Official FIFA Partner, as a part of its efforts to build
excitement about the trophy, and offer fans in the GCC a chance to have
their pictures taken with the world’s most recognized sports trophy.
Beyond the collaboration with Emirates at Dubai airport on April 5, Visa
provided football fans with the opportunity to see the trophy at the
iconic Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall in the UAE, as well as showcasing the
trophy with its partner banks in Kuwait and Muscat.
