This content generated reached sports programs on television and magnified the effect. A gazette was created with 140.000 copies of a 1st print version hand-delivered, directing them to see following issues hosted at one of Mexico’s strongest sports sites, updated daily with news and information about the tournament and Mexican football.

Digital and TV spots featuring famous Mexican coaches and football players were broadcasted inviting them to the tournament and sharing tips. At this time, The Chance app on Facebook went live! The fans eagerly searched for the means to access the App on Facebook and that is when the competition started. Those who would get the most likes, shares & comments would go to a soccer-camp to be recruited and meet Guardiola.
