Eight Ugandans to watch Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu

Eight Ugandans will have the opportunity to attend a live Real Madrid FC match by participating in the 'Watch Real Madrid Live' promotion organized by City Tyres in partnership with Linglong.

The promotion was launched at a major customer event held at City Tyres Mandela Auto Zone, with Linglong President Wang Feng in attendance on Thursday.

Car owners with vehicles equipped with 17-inch rims or larger are eligible to enter the draw when they purchase Linglong tyres of the appropriate size.

Mandela Group Marketing Executive Mahad Twaha stated that the eight winners will receive an all-expenses-paid trip, selected through monthly draws, to watch Real Madrid live at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in Spain.

"We encourage our clients to continue supporting us by purchasing Linglong tyres for a chance to win a trip to Spain. The promotion is ongoing, and all recent buyers are already entered in the draw," Mahad said.

Meanwhile, SC Villa hopes its partnership with Linglong will continue to deliver results, with the team aiming for more trophies during their five-year agreement through 2028. Since partnering with Shadong Linglong Tire Company, SC Villa has won the Uganda Premier League and, most recently, the Super 8 trophy, with Wang in attendance. During his working visit, Wang watched as SC Villa defeated NEC FC 2-0.

“I urge our fans to buy the Linglong tyres and also ask them to continue supporting our team because there are many good things to come in the future,” Villa’s CEO William Nkemba said.

“We are grateful for Linglong’s sponsorship, which coincided with our first Uganda Premier League championship in 20 years. Notably, when Wang joined us on the pitch during the Super 8 final, we scored and secured the trophy,” he noted. During the customer meet function, captain David Owori and the team presented Wang with a framed, autographed jersey and a personalized jersey, as well as similar gifts to his delegation, before presenting him with the Super 8 trophy.

Owori stated that the team has improved significantly since Linglong joined three years ago.

“Our current sponsor has provided strong motivation and support. Since joining, the team has achieved more, improved its structure, and benefited from better facilitation. We are highly motivated, have talented players and a skilled technical team, and our performance has improved,”.

Owori explained that the Super 8 tournament allowed new coach Kovacevic Zeljko to evaluate the players in a competitive environment.

“Winning the Super 8 is going to motivate us through the upcoming season and push us to perform even better in the new season,” Owori stated.

On the same night, Moses Ssenyonjo who won from the second draw of the Linglong Tyres Electric Vehicle promotion was also officially handed his brand new Wuling Electrical Vehicle.

Wang said apart from sponsoring Sc Villa, they also support Real Madrid, Chelsea, Wolfsburg and other sports like basketball and badminton.
