The Caribbean Bottling Company (CBC) hosted a party for the United Football Club (United FC) players in honor of the FIFA World Cup coming to a close. The young footballers took part in a series of friendly matches, and were treated to FIFA and Coca-Cola goodies, a McDonalds lunch spread, and ice-cold Coca-Cola, Dasani and Powerade to keep them energized throughout the day.
The Coca-Cola Company is one of the longest-standing international corporate partners of FIFA. As the official bottler of Coca-Cola beverages in the Bahamas, the Caribbean Bottling Company made sure to share the spirit of FIFA throughout the tournament. In addition to hosting an in-store promotion that allowed shoppers to get free, limited edition FIFA items, CBC also hosted several FIFA Mini Matches. Mini Match participants were able to compete in short games for the chance to win FIFA soccer balls, beach towels, bags and more.
As a proud sponsor of the United FC, the Caribbean Bottling Company also wanted to find a fun and engaging way to get the young players involved.
“It has truly been a joy to watch these young players progress, not only as athletes, but as young men and women,” noted Nikia Wells, CBC Marketing Manager-Communications. “Coach Sam T. and the United FC players are passionate about football – they truly love the game. So, we knew when it was time for the World Cup, we had to do something for the kids.”
United FC is one of the oldest football clubs in The Bahamas, and the organization's Youth Soccer Development Programme has produced many of the country’s top players. Originally named the "Nick Body Shop United" in the early 70's, the club has evolved into United FC, and CBC is delighted to support the growth and development of its young athletes.
The Coca-Cola and United FC World Cup party took place on June 14 at the C.H. Reeves Junior High School Field.
