Good thing you didn't go with the other one! Indeed, guessing the sponsor correctly for the Coca-Cola North American Cup nets you both a 100 point reputation boost, and a cash prize of £1M, which will go straight into the club's bank balance.

And straight away, a second winner! The Volkswagen European Super Cup is maybe not the most glamorous of competitions for arguably the biggest company in Manngeld's homeland, but it does fetch your German based club a glamorous prize of £1M.

A cracking guess, but not a successful one I'm afraid. Bit of a mouthful for sponsorship purposes.

All incorrect guesses I'm afraid. I'm toying with the idea that, in an hour or so, I'll allow all those who have failed to guess a sponsor correctly to have another crack at it. I'll also tell you now, that only four countries have more than one sponsor from their shores, and three of those speak English.

Woo hoo! With all our money spent on infrastructure, this is the only £1m the club has, so a very nice little bonus...

I'm afraid none of these are correct. (Glenn, Manngeld Enterprises is indeed a company and a sponsor but of course had already been unveiled before the challenge began. They're hosting it!

We have the first jackpot of the day! Branson loved it indeed, and is paying a considerable sum to sponsor the Virgin Cup Winners' Cup. This correct guess means that Il Viola Diavoli will gain the advantage of a young superstar. Details on this player will be shared once the sign up proper begins.

I have to think that Ferrari would be the sponser in Italy.

Those who failed at their first guess can indeed go again.

A hint; failed guesses have included confectioners, banks and vehicle manufactures. There are sponsors remaining unidentified from each of these categories.

Good thinking, but unfortunately they aren't. There aren't individual sponsors per country by the way, but rather 3/4 per continent as well as 2 for the worldwide competititions.

Just a quick question, would it be possible for you to put a list of the competitions, and then when we guess them right you fill in the sponsor, so people have a better idea of what to guess? Its just a suggestion.

**glennuk** · 13-04-2012 17:08

The fifth correct answer, congratulations. The Brazilian energy giants are paying for the right to sponsor the Petrobras South American Premier Division. A 100 point rep boost and £1M coming your way.

**EoinMcG** · 13-04-2012 17:24

2nd guess: Fly Emirates!

**Dave.** · 13-04-2012 17:26

Woop woop, research works!

P.s. This is an awesome idea Dave - great to see the thread kicking off

Have you thought about touting it around the small club challenge threads? Tend to be plenty of active users to lure in...

I thought about it, but didn't think it'd be right to hijack others' threads for advertising. I'll be posting in the Sign Ups HQ at some point soon.

**Matshit** · 13-04-2012 17:30

Well, well, well. Didn't think that one would be going any time soon! A fantastic guess, correctly identifying the MTN African Cup nets you a well earned 100+ rep and £1M.

No you don't

But you are correct with your second guess, they're sponsoring the Foster's Oceanic Cup. That's 100 point added to rep and £1M for you. Smart.

Sorry to keep you waiting! I'll accept third guesses from those who haven't yet got an answer right from 18.30BST, but this will be your final guess!

**Ben Evans** · 13-04-2012 18:08

Yaay! Go Fosters! I think I've got another one but am I allowed a second guess cos I've already got one right?

Yes indeed, the world's second richest man (after Manngeld, of course) is sponsoring the América Móvil North American Divisions 1 & 2. That's £1M going to your club.

There's no time limit on it, so you're welcome to have all three guesses if you like! Of course, if you get one right, I will ignore your following guess(es).
