As football fever reaches its peak, Castrol, official sponsor of the 2010 FIFA World Cup™, has launched its new World Cup Castrol Predictor and Castrol Index. The interactive tools will provide fans with World Cup analysis, updates and predictions as well as insights from world renowned experts such as Arsène Wenger, Alan Shearer and referee legend Pierluigi Collina.
Fans can access the tools, which are available in both English and Arabic languages, through many channels including www.castrolfootball.com, the 'Castrol Football Arabia' Facebook page and on mobile through the Castrol Football iPhone App available free from the iTunes App store.
The Castrol Predictor will allow fans to assess their team's chances of success through the different stages of the World Cup. Castrol Performance Analysts have measured past performances from every international match in the last 10 years and simulated the tournament more than 100,000 times.
Who really is the best performing player of the tournament? The Castrol Index will help settle popular player debates, such as 'Messi Vs Ronaldo', as it is the definitive system to objectively analyse and rank player performances throughout the 2010 FIFA World Cup™. Castrol uses the latest FIFA tracking technology to capture every pass, tackle and move from each individual player and converted into a Castrol Index score out of 10.
The Castrol Football iPhone App is the world's most advanced football analysis application to date and will be updated regularly throughout the tournament. Integrated with Facebook and Twitter, fans will be able to keep their friends up to date with all the latest stats from South Africa.
Castrol will also be also sponsoring the popular sports show "Sada Al Malaeb" on MBC, with Mustafa Agha providing viewers with the unique Castrol Index analysis.
