The excitement of all of Ecuador when knowing that the team achieved a place in the World Cup event activated the dream of many people who began to carry out different initiatives with the aim of accompanying La Tri in the most important football event on the planet; be it the use of savings, loans and even ventures, all in order to achieve the necessary resources to travel to Qatar and encourage the selection.
Ecuador’s ambassador to Qatar, Pascual del Cioppo, says that as of mid-November, more than 15,000 tickets have been purchased to see the Ecuadorian team. “That amount is divided by 2.5 (considering the estimate to watch two games) and those are the followers of Ecuador,” says the ambassador. This means that some 6,000 fans are estimated to be at the matches.
However, different brands and companies took advantage of this situation to launch contests and promotions, in which the winners will accompany the team in their football campaign.
doubly lucky
One of these winners is Jorge Ligua, a true fan of the king of sports, who since he was six years old has followed the national championship and all the Tri games. This fervent follower of Barcelona SC found out through social networks about a promotion launched by Cervecería Nacional, through which the winner could attend all the matches of the national championship for free.

Jorge enrolled in the middle of the year without much hope, and when he was favored, he did not imagine that apart from that prize he would also travel to Qatar for the World Cup.
I found out at work and I was really excited, I couldn’t believe it. I’m going to the stadium for free for a year, she said, but I didn’t know anything about the trip to Qatar. To keep the surprise, they contacted my wife who asked that they give me the soft news because she could give me something. When I saw Francisco Molestina with cameras, I thought they were filming a commercial, but he approached me and asked if I would like to go to Qatar. I said yes, and he told me that I was the lucky winner of the Golden Goal

The last one I activated was the $10 one, I think I won with that one. I was so moved that I was shocked. At some point I thought about traveling to Dubai collecting two or three years of salary to be able to travel, but this opportunity arose, something I did not expect. I feel very happy, very cheerful, very motivated, with all the desire and energy to be able to go on that trip.

For his part, Boris Nogales says excitedly: “Honestly, I never thought of winning the prize for the trip to Qatar. I got an unexpected call telling me that I won the prize.
