Looking to spice up your next soccer event?  Interactive Promotions Group offers a bunch of different soccer promotions that are sure to draw more fans to your events.  The Target Goal Kick, Quick Kick and Truck Bed punt just to mention a few.  The Target Goal Kick allows one lucky fan from the crowd to come down to the field and try and score a goal from a predetermined distance through a specified target opening on the goal. The Quick Kick gives a random spectator the chance to make five out of ten goals in twenty-five seconds; if they succeed they go home with the prize. In order to win the Truck Bed punt contest the contestant must punt a soccer ball from a certain distance and get it to land (and stay) in the bed.

With the 2014 FIFA World Cup in full swing we thought we’d give you some fast facts about it:

This year marks the 20th edition of the FIFA World Cup, an international men’s soccer tournament like no other! This year’s edition is taking place in Brazil. It is the second time that Brazil has hosted the event, 1950 was the last year in which they hosted.

National teams of 31 countries advanced through qualification games, this journey to the cup began in June of 2011. A total of 64 matches are being played in 12 cities across Brazil in stadiums either new or redeveloped over the past few years. For the first time at a World Cup Finals, the matches are using goal-line technology, as well seeing the use of vanishing spray for free kicks. This advancement is a change for the World Cup, which makes it rare because soccer has stuck to its roots throughout its innovative years. The 2010 FIFA World Cup winner was Spain. They defeated the Netherlands 1–0 in the final to win their first World title. The previous four World Cups staged in South America were all won by South American teams.
