Coca-Cola Gets Andrés Iniesta for FIFA World Cup
Andrés Iniesta who scored Spain’s winning goal in the 2010 FIFA World Cup Final, will be featured in the new Powerade campaign “There’s Power in Every Game.” Powerade is a brand of The Coca-Cola Company.
Through the campaign, Powerade, the official sports drink of the 2014 FIFA World Cup will tell the stories of footballers who have overcome adversity to lift their teammates, rally supporters, and inspire communities through their dedication and achievements in the sport.
“An idea that is fundamental to the game is that the actions of every player matter,” said Andrés Iniesta. “Spectators want players to give everything they can for the team as they are giving their all as supporters.”

For Iniesta, who has powered through his own share of challenges to achieve the highest level of success on the world’s biggest football stage, the campaign is about recognizing that every touch, pass and cheer matters – for the game, and everyday athletes alike.
“As footballers we appreciate that we have the power to inspire and motivate people through our actions, and no matter how insignificant it may seem at the time, we recognize that there’s power not just in every game but in every tackle, pass, shot and goal,” Iniesta said.
