SINGAPORE, May 21, 2010 - FOOTBALL fans in Singapore now have another option to watch 2010 World Cup matches for free.
McDonald's will be screening live matches of the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa at it's 24-hour restaurants in the lion city.
A total of 34 outlets in the city and heartlands like Ang Mo Kio and Bedok will be screening the matches despite the recent announcement on the price hike for rights to publicly screen the World Cup matches.
"Over the years, our restaurants have become friendly football hubs in many neighbourhoods, as football fans gather with their buddies and families to catch the World Cup or Barclays Premier League match screenings over their McDonald's favourites.
"This year, we are more excited than ever about bringing the World Cup action to life - we anticipate our restaurants to be an even more popular choice for football fans who want to catch the World Cup action on TV for free," said Agatha Yap, Marketing Director for McDonald's Singapore.
In addition, McDonald's has also teamed up with the Coca-Cola Company to bring customers a limited edition Coca-Cola Contour Glass series with the World Cup theme. The six different coloured glasses are each embossed with official 2010 FIFA World Cup football figures, carrying a different football pose showing a bicycle kick, header, kick, save, volley and strike.
The promotion will kick off before the matches on 3 June, whilst stocks last.
