Coca-Cola today gives fans from every single Football League and Scottish Premier League club the fantastic opportunity to increase their clubs transfer fund by launching a brand new on-pack promotion called 'Buy A Player'. With a £10M prize fund on offer, and one in every two packs guaranteed to win, Coca-Cola is hoping that fans get behind their team and start racking up their transfer fund.
From today, anyone buying a promotional bottle or multipack of Coca-Cola or Coke Zero will be in with a chance of winning a prize for their club's transfer fund. Prizes range from 50p all the way up to £100,000. The winners of the £100,000 prizes will also win a personal cash prize of £10,000.
Fans need to simply text in the unique code found on promotional bottles or multipacks to 80094 or enter it at www.coca-cola.co.uk/football. Upon entering, fans will find out instantly if they are winners of money for their club.
Everyone entering the Buy A Player promotion up until February 7th will also be automatically entered into a separate draw for £250,000. The winner will be announced live on Soccer AM on Saturday 10th February 2007.
Steve Cumming, Sponsorship Manager, Coca-Cola Great Britain said: "Buy A Player is our biggest football promotion to date and is set to strengthen our already highly credible association with football. 'Win A Player' was hugely successful but we have tried to make the 'Buy a Player' promotion bigger, better & even more exciting for football fans."
Lord Mawhinney, Chairman, The Football League said: "The 'Buy a Player' promotion gives the supporters of all 72 League clubs the opportunity to raise much needed transfer funds for their teams. I would like to thank Coca-Cola for making such a generous commitment to our clubs and our competition. I'm sure it will be a big hit with fans everywhere."
