Pepsi Max takes to the streets as the sponsor of Joga Bonito tournaments to be held across Malta and Gozo. Joga Bonito aims to take football back to its street roots where players take part for the brief thrill of a fast game between friends – and Pepsi Max will be on site providing maximum refreshment all the way.

Joga Bonito 3vs3 is a football concept that is being promoted around the world; two teams of three players go head to head in a 21 x 7m football pitch set up on tarmac. The game is fast paced and exciting, with spectators looking in from the sidelines. The tournament is on a knock-out basis and games will be held in full day events in various localities around Malta and Gozo, with the final being held on 20 May in Freedom Square, Valletta.

In addition to sponsoring Joga Bonito, Pepsi has created a very exciting football campaign this year that includes TV advertising with the theme ‘Pepsi Fest’. The TV advertising shows world-class players enjoying a game of football with an amateur Bavarian team who confuse the Pepsi team with their skills inspired by Bavarian dancing.

Gatorade, another global brand with a long-time association with sports, also sponsors Joga Bonito.

Pepsi and Gatorade are marketed and distributed by Simonds Farsons Cisk.
