Casillas, currently goalkeeper with Real Madrid C.F., has participated three times in the FIFA World Cup and is considered one of football's greatest keepers.

Likewise, Kaka, a midfielder with A.C. Milan, has also played in the FIFA World Cup three times and was awarded the 'FIFA World Player of the Year' and the 'Ballon d'Or' in 2007.

Additionally, in Brazil, Hyundai Motor chose Oscar Emboaba as the local representative of the brand for the tournament.  Oscar is currently a midfielder at Chelsea F.C.

Hyundai Motor's partnership with FIFA began in 1999 and is currently set to run until 2022. Hyundai Motor has successfully supported major events such as the FIFA World Cup in Korea-Japan (2002), Germany (2006) and South Africa (2010), as well as other competitions such as the FIFA Confederations Cup.

The successful sponsorship of international football has contributed greatly to Hyundai Motor's strong and continuously improving brand awareness and image.
