Soccer Deserves Pepsi In The Latest Promotion Campaign For the World Cup
"To me, match days are so much more than fútbol. It's la comida, la familia, everyone packed around the TV. Back home in México, it's tacos on the table, el partido on full blast, and Pepsi Zero Sugar making every bite taste even better," said Guillermo "Memo" Ochoa, Professional Soccer Player and Mexican National Team Goalkeeper. "Those are moments you always remember, and I'm excited to help bring that feeling to life with Pepsi."
"As a player, I'm always locked in on the match, but for fans watching around the world, it's about everyone coming together – that's what makes the occasion so special," said Christian Pulisic, Global Soccer Star and U.S. Men's National Team Attacker. "When you have great food, great company, and cold Pepsi Zero Sugar leveling up your match day spread, the experience is anything but flat."
"On match day, the food you serve matters just as much as the game itself – and Pepsi Zero Sugar is the cola that brings out the best in every bite and moment," said Gustavo Reyna, Vice President of Marketing, Pepsi. "We're excited to team up with some of soccer's biggest stars to show that Pepsi belongs wherever great food is being enjoyed – because if you're not serving Pepsi, you're leaving taste on the table."
