Doha Bank, the leading private commercial bank in Qatar, together with Visa, announced that a Doha Bank Visa debit cardholder is the lucky winner of a trip for two to watch the 2014 FIFA World Cup live in Brazil.

The prize includes a 5-day/4-night package for the world cup finals in Rio de Janeiro, accommodation on board cruise ship, daily meals, ground transportation, FIFA-themed merchandise and a $400 Visa Prepaid money card thrown in for shopping!

Mr. Suresh Bajpai, Head of Retail Banking at Doha Bank said: “This partnership between Doha Bank and Visa is an added-value campaign initiated to reward customers for their transactions abroad. Doha Bank is one of the leading issuers of Visa cards in Qatar. Invoking the passion of soccer, the favourite sport of the Gulf, this promotion was timed to excite football fans and stimulate Doha Banks Visa card usage in the run up to the FIFA world Cup in Brazil this July.”
