DIGICEL, the largest mobile operator in the Caribbean and official regional broadcast sponsor of the FIFA World Cup 2010, today announced the winners of its “Make the Team” promotion which gives one lucky Dominican the prize of a lifetime.
The “Make the Team” promotion – which gives the winner an all-expenses-paid trip to see the final football game live in Johannesburg, South Africa – ran for one (1) month and culminated today in an exciting grand draw during a live broadcast at Digicel’s flagship store in Roseau.
The prize – which includes all flights and transfers from Dominica to South Africa, accommodation in a luxury hotel on a game reserve, spending money, a safari tour, polo shirts and tickets to the final – comes to a total value of US$30,000.
Winner of this once in a lifetime Digicel promotion, Mrs. Ursula Boatswain, said: “I’ve been a Digicel customer for three (3) years and I follow the Digicel Caribbean Cup – but I never dreamed I’d be heading to see the greatest teams in the world play each other in the world’s most prestigious tournament. I’d like to thank Digicel for giving me this once-in-a-lifetime trip and fantastic opportunity – I’m really excited about being in beautiful South Africa watching the beautiful game!”
Digicel Dominica CEO, Mr. Richard Stanton, said: “Digicel’s commitment to the development of football began in 2004 and since then has evolved throughout the Caribbean with numerous sponsorships from grass roots right through to national level.
“Today we’re delighted to be giving our valued customers this once-in-a-lifetime trip to witness the world’s best teams play against each other in the biggest footballing event in the world in South Africa next month.”
FIFA Vice-President and CONCACAF President, Jack Warner, said of the prize: “In just a few short years, Digicel has become the biggest supporter of football in the Caribbean and Central America. As well as sponsoring football federations and leagues across the region, Digicel has been instrumental in developing football clinics with renowned international coaches for aspiring young footballers.
“I am delighted that Digicel is giving football fans across the region the chance to witness football’s showpiece which takes place only once every four years and will be a fantastic opportunity to witness the crème de la crème of footballing talent,” he said.
