Sunway Giza, Kota Damansara was awash with a
wave of red as hundreds of fans came together to witness eternal rivals
Liverpool F.C. and Manchester United F.C. clash it out in High Definition (HD)
at the Barclays Premier League (BPL) during the LIVE Match Viewing Party hosted
by FOX International Channels (FIC).
Fans turned up proudly sporting their team
colours and crests to cheer their respective teams and jeer their rivals in
good jest in the Reds Showdown live on FOX Sports.
Other exciting activities awaited the fans
before the live telecast of the match begin including FOX Sports Football
Simulator and FOX Sports Double Dribble. Fans also showed off their football
knowledge in the trivia session and went all out to win merchandises as
well as prizes from FOX Sports and sponsors such as BAC, MyEG and Wonda
Coffee.
The top two ‘Best Dressed’ fans also walked
home with official Manchester United and Liverpool jerseys and the honour of
being the most fashionable fans of the night. Aside from that, prizes were also
awarded to the fans who accurately called the results in the ‘Score Prediction’
activity.
The match finally ended 1-0 in Manchester
United‘s favour, with Wayne Rooney scoring the winning goal 12 minutes from
time.
“We are pleased that our BPL viewing party has
turned to be an even bigger success than last year. FOX Sports will continue to
bring our viewers the best in sports entertainment and are proud to be able to
cater to fans of English football on-screen and off-screen,” said Ms. Penny
Tan, Marketing Director of FOX International Channels.
“We at FOX Sports understand that a sense of
community makes up as much of the experience as the actual match viewing
itself. It’s great to amp up the excitement of a match by sharing the joy with
hundreds of fans who are equally emotionally invested in the game. We’re glad
that ultimately our viewing party has brought fans of both teams together,
proving that rivalries on the field still cannot break the bond of Malaysians,”
she added.
Fans can tune in to FOX Sports (ASTRO Channel
812) and FOX Sports HD (ASTRO Channel 832) to catch all the action of BPL Live,
