FIFA’s exclusive Financial Services Partner Visa offers Jordanian cardholders the chance to win a trip to the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ in South Africa

Amman, February 2010 – Visa, FIFA’s exclusive Financial Services Partner, today announced a “Go Fans” promotion offering Visa cardholders the chance to win the trip of a lifetime to experience the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ in South Africa.

For a limited period of time, Visa debit and credit cardholders – through local Jordanian banks - will be entered into a prize draw every time they make a purchase using their Visa card to stand a chance of winning a trip to the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ in South Africa. At least one lucky Visa cardholder in Jordan will not only win return flights for two to South Africa, 4 star hotel accommodation, spending money and tickets to watch a match but they will also gain privileged access to a choice of exclusive backstage experiences - including a stadium and pitch tour before the match, watch the players warm up from the sideline or have your photo taken on the pitch.

Commenting on the “Go Fans” promotion, Tony Gougassian, Visa’s Area Manager for Levant and Qatar, said: “Visa’s relationship with the world’s most passionately followed and celebrated sporting event – the FIFA World Cup – provides us with a global platform on which to build our brand and showcase the value of our products and services. Given Jordan’s passion for football and Visa’s commitment to growing our business here, we are delighted to offer Jordanian fans the chance to experience the pinnacle of world football and attend 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.”

The 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™ proudly accepts only Visa-branded credit, debit and pre-paid cards, along with cash, in all 2010 FWC stadiums in recognition of Visa’s sponsorship.

Other competitions hosted by Visa are expected in the coming months, where lucky contenders with a love for football, will get the chance to win an array of valuable prizes.
