Coca-Cola today gives Cardiff City fans the fantastic opportunity to increase their club's transfer fund by launching a brand new on-pack promotion called 'Buy A Player'. With a £10M prize fund on offer, and one in every two packs guaranteed to win, Coca-Cola is hoping Cardiff fans get behind their team and start racking up their transfer fund.

From Jan 16th, anyone buying a promotional bottle or multipack of Coca-Cola or Coke Zero will be in with a chance of winning a prize for the Cardiff City transfer fund. Prizes range from 50p all the way up to £100,000. The winners of the £100,000 prizes will also win a personal cash prize of £10,000.

Fans need to simply text in the unique code found on promotional bottles or multipacks to 80094 or enter it at www.coca-cola.co.uk/football

Upon entering, Cardiff City fans will find out instantly if they are winners of money for their club.

Steve Cumming, Sponsorship Manager, Coca-Cola Great Britain said: "Buy A Player is our biggest football promotion to date and is set to strengthen our already highly credible association with football. 'Win A Player' was hugely successful but we have tried to make the 'Buy a Player' promotion bigger, better & even more exciting for football fans."


The launch of 'Buy A Player' follows on from two successful years of the Coca-Cola Win A Player promotion, which received over three million entries and saw fans from two South Coast clubs - Brighton and Southampton - win £250,000 for their respective clubs transfer kitties in 2005 and 2006.


Last year 'Win A Player' gave one main prize of £250K to Southampton fan Chantelle Legg, and two further prizes of £50K to Brentford fan Steven Hearn and Oxford fan Andy Perrin. This year's promotion will ensure that Cardiff City fans are now in with a chance to win something for their club.
