Manama, Bahrain: ila Bank, powered by Bank ABC, has launched an unprecedented campaign tailored for football fanatics. One lucky ila credit card customer will get the chance to attend five of Europe’s biggest football matches for free. The ongoing campaign runs up to 31 December, 2025, after which the winner will be picked through a raffle draw.

For customers to be eligible for the draw and automatically stand a chance to win the grand five-match football experience of a lifetime, they must apply for a new ila credit card and use it at least once by 31 December 2025. Existing ila credit card holders can also qualify by applying for a supplementary card and using it at least once by 31 December 2025.

The lucky winner, along with one guest, will be treated to an all-expenses paid experience, including match tickets, air fare, and twin-sharing hotel accommodation for three nights, for each of the five games. This incredible prize will be awarded in the form of a BHD 8,000 voucher.

Commenting on this first-of-its-kind campaign, Anwar Alali, Marketing Campaigns & Acquisitions Manager, said, “Our customer-first approach to banking recognises that football is a universal language that connects millions of fans across the world. This unique campaign is our way of sharing in Bahrain’s passion for the game in a way that no other bank has before, offering an unforgettable opportunity of a lifetime combining sports, travel and shared experiences. We are thrilled to be providing a lucky customer with an exclusive curated journey to live out their ultimate football fantasy at not just one or two, but five live matches across Europe.”

The raffle draw winner and their guest will enjoy seats at their choice of iconic matches, which may include Real Madrid vs Barcelona (El Clásico), Manchester United vs Liverpool, Chelsea vs Arsenal (London Derby), Inter Milan vs AC Milan (Derby della Madonnina), or Juventus vs Napoli. ila’s innovative campaign has caught the attention of football enthusiasts, sports travellers, and young professionals who follow major international leagues, as well as parents whose young ones are budding football fans. By offering a five-match European football experience as a single grand prize, ila takes the idea of banking beyond just financial convenience and lifestyle rewards, connecting customers with what they are truly passionate about.
