Match Appoints Pamodzi For World Cup Hospitality Sales

Match Hospitality has appointed Pamodzi Sports Marketing Nigeria Limited as its official sales agent in Nigeria for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

The partnership will see Pamodzi Sports Marketing sell a range of ticketed packages and add-on services for the tournament, which will be held in Brazil, as well as for the FIFA Confederations Cup in the same country in 2013. Sales of hospitality packages for the 2014 FIFA World Cup were launched worldwide in November 2011.

Jaime Byrom, the executive chairman of Match Hospitality, said: "Match Hospitality is delighted to partner with Pamodzi Sports Marketing in Nigeria. Pamodzi Sports Marketing’s approach, strong client base and relationship with the Nigerian Football Federation will add immense value to Match Hospitality."

Pamodzi Sports Marketing chairman and chief executive Mike Itemuagbor added: "This
appointment presents a huge opportunity for Nigerians to take advantage of, and be part of, the excitement that abounds for the 2014 World Cup hospitality programme presented by Match Hospitality."

Last year, FIFA extended its global contract with Match Hospitality until after the 2023 Women's World Cup.
