MHB Wei Jean, Andy Kho and I headed up to Score at The Roof, First Avenue Bandar Utama on 10 May 2016 for Carlsberg’s launch of their exciting activities leading to the UEFA EURO 2016™. Carlsberg is the official beer of the tournament, and is offering fans a chance to watch the semi-final live in France and experience what it’s like to be a football star and ‘Play on Pitch’ at Stade de Lyon, the official stadium of the UEFA EURO 2016™.

Carlsberg’s long-standing partnership with UEFA EURO continues the brand’s heritage and association with football. Carlsberg has been the official sponsor for a record of 8 consecutive tournaments since 1988 and remain the official sponsor of the UEFA EURO in 2016™.

For the first time in the tournament’s history, UEFA EURO 2016™ will feature 24 teams compared to only 16 in 2012. They will be competing over a full month, from 10 June to 10 July 2016. The tournament comprises 51 matches, up from 31 matches in 2012, staged in ten different cities across France.

“Carlsberg, probably the best beer in the world offers our fans a chance to score probably the best UEFA EURO football experience. Carlsberg is always about doing it better for the fans whilst UEFA EURO championship never fails to set football enthusiasts in craze once every four years. Being the proud official beer sponsor of UEFA EURO for 8 consecutive tournaments, Carlsberg raises the bar a notch higher by rewarding lucky consumers – and their favorite mate – a once of a lifetime chance to play on the same pitch as their football heroes, experience the life of a football star and be treated as a VIP, probably the best football adventure ever,” said Henrik Juel Andersen, Carlsberg Malaysia Managing Director.

“It is probably the best football prize as the winner of UEFA EURO 2016TM gets to play, interact and probably score some goals together with some great legends from the past UEFA EURO tournaments on the pitch of Stade de Lyon. The experience will culminate at the Grand Awards dinner where they will get to mingle with the past UEFA EURO legends,” Andersen added.

Access to this event is exclusively held by Carlsberg and only 100 winners from around the world will have the chance to participate. Five (5) contest winners from Malaysia can each bring along a friend to watch the UEFA EURO 2016™ semi-final with the best seats and views, be treated like football stars, complete with personalized soccer kits, access to locker rooms and other entertainment at the VIP hospitality lounge – while enjoying ice-cold Carlsberg.

Since we’re on the topic of Carlsberg, I noticed that my Facebook friend and acquaintance and one of my favourite freelance talents – Zhu Sien, did a couple of videos for Carlsberg.

 

I happen to think that she’s one of the prettier freelance talents in the industry and I really like the fact that she can converse fluently in English and is not one of those dumb bimbos/ empty vases. Pity that she’s graduated and is no longer doing freelance jobs. Sure miss seeing her at events. Well here are two (2) old photos of her.
