BenQ, a leading manufacturer of digital lifestyle devices, has tied up with internet giant Yahoo! to give football fans an opportunity to browse the net while they view the World Cup matches in a relaxed ambience at the FIFA World Cup Fan Park at the Dubai World Trade Centre complex.
“As one of the partners of the FIFA World Cup, Yahoo! is providing its 500 million users worldwide the ability to experience the World Cup online at www.fifaworldcup.com. By setting up an internet zone at the World Cup Fan Park in Dubai, we want to deliver the fun and excitement of one of the world’s most prestigious football events in a truly engaging way,” said Irfan Ahmad, Director, Yahoo! Middle East Ad Sales Rep.
“BenQ represents all that is possible when digital devices are designed with users in mind, and when having fun with technology is given top priority in the creation and marketing of digital products. The BenQ operation in the Middle East is dedicated to bringing quality and enjoyment to life for all regional consumers, and this means that we always put enjoyment as one of our major considerations, along with innovation and quality, in the technologies that we provide,” said Manish Bakshi, General Manager, BenQ Middle East & Africa.
“When Yahoo!, one of the sponsors of FIFA 2006, planned to set up their internet zone at the Dubai FIFA Fan Park, we thought that it was an excellent opportunity to join in the enjoyment experience and provide the equipment they needed. We have supplied our state-of-the-art 19” LCD Monitors and 37” LCD TV so that the fans may browse the web during time-outs and catch up on any action they missed,” he added.
