Mumbai, Feb 14: As excitement builds globally for the FIFA World Cup 2026™, Kia India is bringing the world’s biggest football celebration closer to Indian customers. Through two exclusive initiatives — ‘Kia Walk with Champions’ and ‘Kia Drive to FIFA World Cup 2026™’ — Kia is transforming vehicle ownership into a gateway to football’s grandest stage.
As a Global Official Partner of FIFA since 2007 and the Official Mobility Partner for marquee tournaments, Kia continues its long-standing sporting legacy by extending this global association to customers in India — offering them the opportunity to not just watch history unfold, but to be part of it.
Commenting on the occasion, Mr. Atul Sood, Senior Vice President – Sales & Marketing, Kia India, said,
“Kia’s association with FIFA spans nearly two decades globally, and we are proud to extend this legacy to our customers in India. The FIFA World Cup 2026™ represents the pinnacle of global sporting passion, and through these initiatives, we are giving our customers an opportunity to be part of that extraordinary stage. Whether it is witnessing a live World Cup match or seeing their child walk onto the pitch as an Official Match Ball Carrier, these are truly once-in-a-lifetime experiences. At Kia, we aim to go beyond mobility and create meaningful moments that our customers and their families will cherish forever.”
Kia Walk with the Champions
In a truly once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Kia India will enable two children (aged 10–14 years) to step onto the pitch as Official Match Ball Carriers (OMBC) at a FIFA World Cup 2026™ group stage match in the USA.
Customers who book and subsequently purchase a Carens Clavis (ICE or EV) between 12th February and 10th March 2026 can participate by registering through the official communication shared by Kia. One winner each from Carens Clavis ICE and Carens Clavis EV will be selected through a third-party audited lucky draw.
The selected child will walk onto the field in front of thousands of fans, alongside global football icons — accompanied by one parent or guardian. Kia will manage end-to-end travel, visa, and hospitality arrangements, ensuring a seamless and unforgettable experience.
By linking ownership to football’s biggest global stage, Kia turns a purchase into a dream opportunity — creating deep emotional resonance for families across the country.
Kia Drive to FIFA World Cup 2026™
Kia India will reward four lucky customers nationwide with an all-expenses-paid trip to experience a LIVE FIFA World Cup 2026™ match in the USA, complete with premium hospitality.
Customers who book and subsequently complete the purchase of any eligible Kia model — Seltos, Sonet, Syros, or Carens Clavis (ICE/EV) — during the campaign period will stand a chance to win. One winner each will be selected from Seltos, Sonet and Syros, along with one winner from the Carens Clavis pool .
Each of the four winners will be entitled to travel with one friend or family member to share the experience of witnessing the world’s most celebrated football tournament live.
With only four winners across India, the opportunity is as exclusive as it is extraordinary.
Participation & Transparency
The campaign is valid for bookings made between 12th February and 10th March 2026. While booking during this period enables participation, final eligibility for the lucky draw is subject to completion of vehicle purchase within the stipulated timeline and adherence to campaign terms and conditions.
