eBay, the global online marketplace, has announced its position as official partner of the "Soca Warriors," the Trinidad and Tobago national football team taking part in the 2006 FIFA World Cup.
The partnership between eBay and the Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation was sealed yesterday in Zurich; "We are thrilled with the partnership between eBay and the Trinidad and Tobago national football squad. The Soca Warriors play a relaxed, highly artistic game and are more cheerful while they're at it than any other team. That fits perfectly with eBay," said Gautam Thakar, Country Manager, eBay India Marketplace.
With a host of exciting "Soca Warriors" events and attractions planned to mobilise its global community of 181 million members, eBay is hoping to make Trinidad and Tobago, led by Head Coach Leo Beenhakker, the most supported team in the 2006 competition.
The Trinidad and Tobago national team will let fans get closer than virtually any other squad and, to make sure as many as possible get to see the FIFA World CupTM newcomers for themselves, eBay is organising a host of events before, during and after the competition. These include friendly matches in England and Germany, meet & greets with the football stars, jersey advertising and a whole host of exciting opportunities for the eBay community to get behind the Soca Warriors.
