KUALA LUMPUR, 23 JULY 2026 — An ordinary shopping trip at Eco-Shop has turned into a once-in-a-lifetime experience for Malaysian football fan Lew Yoong Kin, who witnessed Spain’s 1-0 extra-time victory over Argentina in the FIFA World Cup 2026™ Final live from the stands at MetLife Stadium, New Jersey, on 19 July.
Lew, the grand prize winner of Eco-Shop’s “Kita Punya Impian, Dari Sorakan Jadi Pemenang!” campaign, travelled to the United States with his wife on a fully sponsored trip, made possible through the nationwide campaign conducted in collaboration with Visa.
Inspired by his father’s passion for football and his lifelong support for Spain, Lew described watching the team lift the World Cup trophy in person as a moment he would never forget. The experience gave him and his companion the opportunity to witness one of football’s biggest moments from inside the stadium.
The campaign, “Kita Punya Impian, Dari Sorakan Jadi Pemenang!”, which loosely translates to “Our Shared Dream, From Cheering to Winning”, forms part of Eco-Shop’s broader effort to transform everyday purchases into meaningful experiences and memorable rewards for its customers.
Held across 437 Eco-Shop outlets nationwide, the campaign attracted 177,634 eligible entries from members who spent a minimum of RM45 per receipt using a Visa card. The grand prize, valued at approximately RM250,000 and fully sponsored by Eco-Shop, included a Visa Hospitality Package as well as return airfare between Kuala Lumpur and New York for Lew and his companion.
In addition to the grand prize, the campaign also rewarded 10 finalists with exclusive FIFA World Cup 2026™ merchandise packages, while 100 consolation prize winners received RM50 Eco-Shop cash vouchers.
Eco-Shop Malaysia Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director Jessica Ng said the strong response to the campaign reflected Malaysians’ enthusiasm for experiences that extend beyond everyday shopping.
She said Eco-Shop believes meaningful experiences have the ability to create lasting memories for customers, adding that the company was pleased to help bring one shopper’s dream closer to reality while celebrating the excitement and sense of unity that football brings to fans around the world.
For Lew, the opportunity to watch Spain lift the World Cup trophy live from the stadium was an experience he never expected to have.
He expressed his gratitude to Eco-Shop for making the journey possible, describing the opportunity to witness the final in person as a once-in-a-lifetime experience that he and his wife would treasure.
Looking ahead to the FIFA World Cup’s centenary edition in 2030, Jessica said the latest campaign represents the beginning of Eco-Shop’s efforts to bring major global experiences closer to Malaysians.
She added that the company intends to continue creating opportunities that offer greater value and memorable moments for its customers, demonstrating how an everyday shopping trip can potentially lead to extraordinary experiences.
The campaign highlights Eco-Shop’s continued focus on customer engagement by connecting everyday purchases with experiences that resonate with Malaysians, while also leveraging the global appeal of football to create memorable moments for its community.
