Four lucky Visa cardholders have won VIP tickets to the much anticipated 2010 FIFA World Cup™ in South Africa. The winners, who were automatically entered into the prize draw during DSF by using their Visa card to make transactions, will be treated to a VIP Visa prize experience including round-trip flights to South Africa, hotel accommodation, match tickets and guided sightseeing tours.
This year’s lucky Visa DSF winners included: Mr. Marclino Osualdo Fernandes, a Lloyds TSB customer; Mr. Salah Elddin Iraki, an Arab Bank customer; Mary Lou Al Hassan, a Sharjah Islamic Bank customer, and Mr. Ahmed Mohamed Ebrahim M. Alhammadi, an ADIB customer. Commenting on receiving his prize, Mr. Marclino Osualdo Fernandes said: “When I heard I had been selected as one of the Visa DSF winners heading to South Africa for an all expenses paid trip to watch the World Cup, I could not believe it. I am looking forward to going to South Africa to watch my favourite team, Portugal play – it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity.”
