We don't want to paint with a broad brush or anything, but if you walked into most car dealerships here in Fargo, ND and overheard the staff talking about football, chances are they'd be referring to the gridiron. But since we here at Kia of Fargo work with such a fabulous global automaker, it only make sense that we think of football in the international sense. Because with the FIFA World Cup just one year away, we've got a one-track-mind on the pitch these days.
If you haven't heard, the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup will soon be hosted by the city of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. If you've never been, you can take our word for it that the festivities will be a tad bit cramped. So in an effort to help make the process as smooth as possible, the brass at Kia have stepped into supply the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup with 198 of their vehicles.
With kickoff starting on June 15, it goes without saying that Brazil was relieved.
"The vehicle handover is a vital part of the preparation for the FIFA Confederations Cup 2013 and we are pleased to have such a globally recognized automotive brand provide us with stylish, reliable and comfortable vehicles to safely transport our FIFA officials, VIPs and others,"1 says Jay Neuhaus, Head of FIFA Marketing in Brazil.
And in an effort to get the masses as excited as they should be for the big event, Kia will also be launching a series of activities for their customers to participate in, one of which is the "Kia Lucky Drive to Brazil" that will send one lucky winner down to Brazil to attend one of the semi-final matches. What can we say, folks, they don't call it "The World's Game" for nothing.
But if you still prefer pigskin to shin guards, we understand, at least we'll always have the common ground of our fabulous new and used cars to fall back at our dealership. And if you'd rather take a spin in the 2013 Kia Rio than book it on down to Rio itself, we'd be happy to set you up.
