Meru’s Football enthusiast “Mulika” wins Coca-Cola’s 3rd ticket to Qatar for the 2022 World Cup Live

NAIROBI, Kenya, June 23^rd – Duncan Wekesa Wamalwa is the third winner of a fully paid trip to Qatar to watch two matches of the 2022 World Cup live, courtesy of the ongoing Coca-Cola’s FIFA World Cup Buy and Win Promotion in Kenya.

Wamalwa was announced in the ongoing Buy and Win promotion by Coca-Cola that was launched in April, which is giving five consumers a chance to win tickets to Qatar.

Speaking at the Heritage Hotel, Nkubu, Meru County, Wamalwa could not hide his joy stating that the win will stand to motivate the youth that he coaches at Nkubu’s rehabilitation center where he helps guide and protect them from social vices through football.

“My love for football has kept me in the field to date and now I have been granted an opportunity of a lifetime by Coca-Cola to watch the world’s greatest football tournament and players in action, it is an honor, and I am extremely excited and grateful,” said Wamalwa.

Wamalwa, a resident of Nkubu, is a 40-year-old active football player, well recognized by locals by his field name “Mulika’” due to his stunts as a defender.

Wamalwa is currently the captain of Nkubu Veterans FC aka Nkubu’s “wazee league” which he facetiously said came to be as they could not keep up with the youthful players, but still had love for the game.

“It is not every day that something you have poured your heart and life into pays off, I believe mine finally has,” he said.

Present during the announcement was the Senior Marketing Manager Coca-Cola Kenya, Miriam Limo who stated that there are two more tickets to be won for a once in a lifetime opportunity to visit and watch the FIFA world cup in Qatar, to deserving consumers like Wamalwa.

“As a brand our focus and responsibility are to give our consumers an exceptional experience. We take that responsibility seriously and we deliver that every day through our products. Occasionally, we get the opportunity to go an extra mile, which is what we are doing with this promotion,” she explained.

All five winners will get the full Qatar experience in November during this year’s World Cup tournament in Doha, Qatar. The package will include a 5-day all-expenses paid trip with tickets to watch two live matches.

The first and second winners of the grand prize of the Buy and Win promotion by Coca-Cola are Veronica Maweu from Kayole, Nairobi and Wendy Cherop from Nakuru respectively.

For a chance to win tickets to Qatar, buy any participating big pack i.e., consumers can purchase a 1Litre, 1.25Litre or 2Litre bottle of Coke, Coke No Sugar, Fanta, or Sprite.
