Aguero, Ferdinand set for Singapore date

SINGAPORE — The English Premier League season would be over by next month, but Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand and Manchester City forward Sergio Aguero will continue their crosstown rivalry in Singapore on May 15 and 16.

The duo will face-off in the SingTel Game On! Challenge, a two-day contest as part of the build-up in Singapore to the World Cup, which will be held in Brazil from June 12 to July 13.

It is also part of SingTel’s regional partnership with Samsung, which recently unveiled its Galaxy S5 LTE. Four SingTel customers who purchase the Galaxy S5 LTE from now until May 8 will win a dinner for themselves and a friend with Ferdinand and Aguero. Customers who purchased the handset will also receive autographs at a football carnival on May 16 on a first-come-first-served basis.

Aguero and Ferdinand will also take photos of themselves while engaging in regular Singapore activities suggested by local fans via social media as part of the ultimate selfie challenge. The two stars will then post selfies on their own Twitter pages and encourage fans to re-tweet them.

Fans can participate by taking a selfie while enjoying a popular Singaporean activity and share it via Twitter using the #SGGameOn hashtag from April 23 to May 4. Ferdinand and Agüero will then choose their favourite selfie tweet and invite the lucky fan and a friend to join the other winners at the exclusive dinner.

The footballers will put their knowledge and skills to the test and thrill fans in a series of football-themed challenges at a street carnival event. Fans can also enjoy exclusive privileges on SingTel products and services at the carnival.
