In conjunction with MATCH Hospitality AG, the worldwide exclusive rights holder of the FIFA Hospitality Programme, SportsMark has launched their sales of official hospitality products and services for the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™ and the FIFA Confederations Cup 2013.  SportsMark previously served as the exclusive hospitality sales agent in the USA for the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™ and is the exclusive sales agent of MATCH Hospitality in the USA for the sale of hospitality packages for the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™.

This important designation means that SportsMark is the only enterprise in the USA that is authorized to sell and service official hospitality packages to any corporate or individual buyer in the U.S. market.

SportsMark is pleased to offer hospitality products in all venue cities and stadiums during the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™.  SportsMark’s Brazil office has been actively developing key relationships throughout the country, and is able to offer their clients insights and official information on 2014 FIFA World Cup ticket-inclusive hospitality packages, accommodations and transportation, hospitality venues and tourism activities, along with other critical package elements.

Befitting the status of the FIFA World Cup and the passion for the “beautiful game”, MATCH Hospitality AG has devised a comprehensive menu of hospitality products catering to the various needs and expectations of corporate clients. From multinationals needing to use private dining at the tournament as a Business-to-Business platform, to packages costing less than $700 per person for families and individuals wanting more modest levels of hospitality, there is a product to suit their needs.
 
There are five (5) different categories of products – the MATCH Private Suite, the Bossa Nova Studio, the MATCH Business Seat, MATCH Pavilion and MATCH Premier.
 
These products are available in four types of series – the Aquarela Series, the Venue Series, the Final Round Series and the Team Specific Series, and SportsMark, along with MATCH Hospitality, will offer customers a range of options to customize their once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Jaime Byrom, Executive Chairman of MATCH Hospitality, commented: “We feel a tremendous confidence coming from the marketplace that the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil will be exceptional in every respect. MATCH Hospitality has risen to the challenge by devising a combination of packages and series that will give our clients the very best possible FIFA World Cup experience.”
 
“This starts at the higher end with the MATCH Suite and Bossa Nova Studio, and the 19-match Aquarela Series offering hospitality at all of the matches in Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Belo Horizonte. A completely new product on the market, and one we are delighted to launch for the first time in Brazil, is MATCH Premier, a perfect product for customers looking for a relaxed, leisurely atmosphere which still gives them exclusive, secure access to the FIFA World Cup™,” Byrom added.

“The 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™ will offer an unmatched experience for both corporations and individual football fans alike,” stated Keith Bruce, President of SportsMark. “The creative and wide ranging hospitality products and services that SportsMark and MATCH Hospitality are teaming up to offer will provide our customers with the ultimate FIFA World Cup™ experience in Brazil, tailored to their own unique budget levels and program requirements.”

“SportsMark is very excited to launch the Official Hospitality Programme for the 2014 FIFA World Cup™ here in the U.S. market, and we expect the receptivity to the hospitality offers to be enthusiastic and very positive,” Bruce added.
 
Furthermore, MATCH Hospitality has launched its dedicated page on FIFA.com at www.FIFA.com/hospitality.
