Jaguar Land Rover is the latest car manufacturer to associate themselves with football. Both Kia and Hyundai were ever-present during the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and it seems as though this particular sport is the one the all car manufacturers want to be a part of.
Jaguar Land Rover has been made the 'official supporter' of England's 2018 World Cup bid campaign. This basically means that both Jaguar and Land Rover will be supplying the vehicles to help boost England's chances of hosting the 2018 tournament.
In all, the companies will provide the campaign with nine vehicles - four Range Rovers, one Discovery 4 and four Jaguar XJs. These vehicles will be used to transport members of the games' governing body, FIFA, when they arrive in England later this month to carry out their inspections.
As well as looking around some of our larger football stadiums in London, Manchester and Birmingham they'll also be heading to smaller towns such as Plymouth and Milton Keynes.
Two more Jaguar XJs have been supplied to assist the 2018 bid team with their own domestic transport. The fact that these particular brands are British bodes well for the image we are trying to portray.
Many famous faces have associated themselves with England's 'Back the Bid' campaign, these include David Beckham, Lewis Hamilton, James Cordon, Jensen Button and many, many more.
Other countries who have entered the race to host the 2018 World Cup include the US, Japan and Mexico. The name of the winning country will be revealed in December... lets keep our fingers crossed!
