The Confederations Cup football tournament featuring the Olyroos is being kept moving by Kia Motors.
The company has supplied 83 vehicles to ensure smooth running of the tournament, with a vehicle handover ceremony taking place on June 8 at the Spartak Moscow stadium, Russia.
Vehicles provided include Mohave, Sorento and Sportage, which will transport national football teams, referees, officials and delegates during the international tournament.
“Both FIFA and Kia share a passion for football, and these cars will be used behind the scenes to deliver the excitement of ‘the beautiful game’ to fans around the globe,” Jay Neuhaus, FIFA head of rights delivery and hospitality says.
Kickoff is on June 17, with eight teams vying for a place in the final, to be held in Saint Petersburg on July 2.
The tournament is being contested by the holders of each of the six regional championships (Australia, Cameroon, Chile, Mexico, New Zealand, Portugal), along with the FIFA World Cup holder Germany and the 2018 host nation Russia.
Kia has been FIFA’s automotive partner since 2007.
