Budweiser, the King of Beers, has once again, showcased its uniqueness at creating relevant, grand and memorable experiences that bring people together with a new lifestyle football show that made its debut on SuperSport on August 23, 2019.

The show promises to be fun as fans’ predictions on social media are revealed giving them the opportunity to see firsthand how they fared and an opportunity to be celebrated on the show when their predictions are successful on the ‘King of the Match’ and ‘Take your Shot’ segments.
According to Franscoe Bouwer, High-End Marketing Manager, International Breweries, “the English Premier League and the Spanish LaLiga have achieved world wide popularity and acceptability.
