- And here’s the kicker: during this presale, Visa is the only way to pay. Simple, seamless, secure.
Why is this such a big deal?
Visa is not just about swiping cards—they’ve been FIFA’s Official Payment Technology Partner for nearly 20 years. At the launch event in Washington, D.C., leaders from Canada, Mexico, and the US (the three host countries) came together to celebrate. It’s more than football—it’s about community, culture, and the crazy energy this tournament brings.
And for us Malaysians? Previn Pillay, Visa Malaysia’s Country Manager, nailed it when he said football has this unmatched ability to unite us. Think about it—we scream, cheer, and cry together for 90 minutes straight. And now, we get a real shot at being part of that world stage.
What about the bigger picture?
Visa isn’t just focusing on fans. They’re also helping businesses in host cities get ready for the tourist tsunami that’s about to hit. From small street food vendors to boutique shops, the goal is to turn this World Cup into lasting growth, not just a one-time event.
