Football fever is sweeping the nation this summer, and Iberostar is joining in the fun with the launch of its new Football Fiesta by Iberostar game for trade partners.

About Football Fiesta by Iberostar

This fun game can be played by agents online, There are four separate games, or "matches", running between 11 June until 19 July. It's a game of two halves, as each one tests agents on both their overall football knowledge, and their expertise on Iberostar hotels.

Match 1: The Warm-up, 11 – 20 June 

Agents will play a game where they have to score a goal as many times as possible. You can play this game up to 20 times, to gather as many points as you can!   

Match 2: The Host Nations, 21 – 30 June

Play a fun quiz to score points for your team!

Match 3: The Rookies, 1 – 10 July 

Impress Iberostar with everything you know about its new hotels and renovations in this quiz. 

Match 4: The Global Stars, 11 – 19 July 

Play this final quiz to score even more points! 

You can play each quiz once, and each one will only be available during the dates above. 

Of course, there are some top prizes up for grabs, including: 

1st place: The 11 top-scoring agents in the winning regional team will win an incredible fam trip with Iberostar! 

2nd place: The 11 top-scoring agents in the team that comes second will each win 10,000 StarAgent points, which can be used to book personal stays at Iberostar hotels and resorts worldwide. Points can cover the full cost of a stay or be combined with cash for discounted rates.

3rd place: The 11 top-scoring agents in the team placing third will each win 5,000 StarAgent points.

How to play

Agents from across the world will be playing in regional teams. Those in the UK and Ireland will be up against agents in other markets such as Germany, Austria and Switzerland; France; the USA; and Latin America.

Agents can score points for their team when they take part in the matches, so the more times you enter, the more chance the UK and Ireland has of winning! A leaderboard will show how each team is performing, so you can cheer on your team!
