Kia Motors partners with Copa América Chile 2015

Kia Motors announced its ‘Platinum Sponsor’ role for the Copa América Chile 2015 during a sponsorship agreement signing ceremony held recently at the Estadio Nacional de Chile in Santiago. The agreement marks Kia’s second consecutive sponsorship of Copa América, having served as a ‘Gold Sponsor’ for the 2011 tournament in Argentina.

The signing ceremony was attended by Kyung-Han Kim, President of Kia’s Central & South America Regional Headquarters, and Sergio Jadue, President of the Chilean Football Federation and the Copa América Chile 2015 LOC. “Kia’s sponsorship status of Copa America is now at the highest level, as we are the ‘Platinum Sponsor’ of the Copa America Chile 2015. We are very pleased for this opportunity to continue our involvement with the world’s oldest and South America’s biggest football championship,” commented Mr. Kim. “The signing of this sponsorship agreement with CONMEBOL is a clear indication of our commitment to creating an engaging and enjoyable experience for football fans, especially in the Central & South America region,” he added.

As part of the partnership, Kia Motors will offer the chance to 60 lucky winners from United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, as well as Chile to win a fully paid hospitality package to The Copa América Chile 2015. Participants wishing to be in with a chance of winning this once in a lifetime opportunity simply have to test drive any of Kia’s fantastic line up of models available in regional showrooms. The test drivers’ details will then be entered into a raffle and 60 names will be chosen at random to attend The Copa América Chile 2015.
