Six Coca-Cola winners will be travelling to France to watch the Euro 2016 quarter-finals, The General Soft Drinks Co. Ltd in Marsa said.

General manager Brian Galea presented the winners with two tickets and spending money.

The initiative was part of a Europe-wide campaign by Coca-Cola, sponsors of the Euro 2016.

The winners are Clayton Bezzina, Alison Vassallo, Luigi Sammut, Patrizia Baldacchino, Myron Saliba and Josue Abraham Cini.

“Coca-Cola has a long history of supporting some of the world’s biggest football tournaments and this summer’s UEFA Euro 2016 in France is no exception,” Mr Galea said.

“We know that the simple act of drinking any Coca-Cola makes a context more special and this is true whether our Coca-Cola consumers live the moment in the stadium or at home.”

Sales and marketing manager Martin Agius said: “Coca-Cola has remained popular for one common factor – that of providing an unforgettable experience to taste the feeling of a moment in time. With this opportunity, consumers will have the opportunity to be part of the game and live the Euro Cup fever first hand.”

The winners were excited to receive the tickets, claiming this was a lifetime gift they never thought would actually happen to them and which they will never forget.

The youngest winer was Myron Saliba, 13, of Tarxien, a Germany fan who will be travelling to France to watch a quarter-final game with his father Joseph. Myron said this was the most significant payback he could get from Coca-Cola, being a collector of all Coca-Cola merchandising and collectable items.
