With the biggest sporting event of the year, 2014 FIFA World Cup, set to kick off on June 13, UCWeb has released an exclusive “2014 FIFA World Cup version” of UC Browser for Android and UC Browser for Windows Phone to provide the most comprehensive FIFA content and services to football fans. This will allow millions of enthusiastic fans across the country to quickly and conveniently access the most complete and up-to-date World Cup information including live scores, text broadcast, stats, photos, videos and group updates. This special “2014 FIFA World Cup version” of UC Browser goes live today.

 UCWeb has also launched its mega Rs. 1 Crore World Cup Guessing Contest on UC Browser. Termed the ‘World Cup Bonanza’, it gives participants the chance to prove their football prowess by predicting the winners of each match. The more correct guesses made, the closer the participant is to winning the grand prize. Upon correctly guessing every winner of the 2014 FIFA World Cup™ group stage (total of 48 matches), the participant will walk away with a cool Rs. 1 Crore grand prize. Overall top ranked participants will stand a chance to win an array of fantastic prizes including an Apple iPad mini, Apple iPhone 5s, and a Lenovo ThinkPad E431. Launching on June 11th, the World Cup Guessing Contest is open for free to all users of UC Browser.

“Football fever is at its peak in India and with the World Cup Bonanza we want to heat things up further for all the football fanatics in the country,” said Abhishek Sharma, Director of Marketing Communications at UCWeb India. “Throughout the recent IPL 2014 regular season and playoffs, UCWeb ran the ‘IPL Guessing Game’ which drew participation from over half a million cricket fans per day across India in a bid to win fantastic prizes. With the World Cup Guessing Contest, UCWeb has raised the bar higher and is offering its users an opportunity to not only get instant updates on live scores and news, but also to win exciting prizes. The stakes are high but the rewards are higher, including a golden chance to win Rs. 1 Crore. This is a very unique initiative from UC Browser and we expect a lot of football enthusiasts in India to participate.”
