Coca-Cola is kicking off a national contest to give eight lucky teenage soccer enthusiasts from the U.S. the opportunity to train like a FIFA World Cup soccer star or experience the excitement of a FIFA World Cup match.
This June, the selected Coca-Cola soccer “All-Stars” will participate in the Coca-Cola International Soccer Camp in Pretoria, South Africa, and live their dream of attending a FIFA World Cup match. The nomination process is open from now until April 5 at www.cokesoccercamp.com.
Two groups of four teens, ages 13-16, selected in a nationwide online contest will form the “All-Star” soccer teams invited to participate with 250 others teens from around the world at the camp. Held June 15-20, the camp will offer soccer training and skills demonstrations led by professional coaches.
The eight young players will be chosen based on how they maintain healthy, active lifestyles through soccer, demonstrate leadership on and off the soccer field and focus on education. Beside attending the soccer camp and seeing a FIFA World Cup game, the “All-Stars” will experience the beauty of Johannesburg’s premiere nature reserves.
Nearly 20 countries from around the world will be sending teens to the Coca-Cola International Soccer Camp including Mexico, Brazil, Italy, Switzerland, Greece, Egypt and more. While at the camp, these young players will take part in a series of team-spirited soccer and cultural activities.
