Mixed Fans

 
The Market

VMLY&R COMMERCE Dubai/UAE

The Challenge

Dubai is home to over 200 nationalities.  As a result, over 57% of families have mixed citizenships. So when World Cup fever comes around, they need to make a hard choice.

The Idea

To encourage multinational fans to support all of their nations teams, Coca-Cola offered free DNA tests, allowing fans an in-depth look at their gene pool.  With those results, football jerseys were then created merging more than one nation.
