HG Nelson fronts AFC Asian Cup Campaign by The Monkeys
HG Nelson is fronting a new campaign created by The Monkeys to promote the AFC Asian Cup which comes to Australia in 2015.
The ads are being aired nationally from this month featuring HG and will include cameos from well known football celebrities including Asian Cup global ambassador Alessandro Del Piero, former Socceroos Brett Emerton, Mark Bosnich and Alan Davidson.
CEO of the AFC Asian Cup local organising committee Michael Brown said HG was the perfect face for the campaign as he was instantly recognisable to fans of all Australian sports.
“He transcends all codes,” said Brown in a release from the Australian Football Federation.
“The cup is being billed as the biggest football tournament to be held in Australia”
It’s not even the biggest being held at the time; the Cricket World Cup is considerably bigger.
Sort of difficult to drum up much enthusiasm for this now that the world cup is upon us
OMG. How embarrassing.
Hey Stillness, You’ve not read you’re own comment – it says the biggest FOOTBALL tournament. I would argue cricket is not football!!
