🇦🇷 Firm offers TVs to anyone denied a US visa 😅 | OneFootball

Fans have faced a few setbacks in getting to the United States for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

In Argentina, it was no different, and some fans did not have their visas approved to enter the country.

That was when the company Newsan, through its TV brand Noblex, launched an unusual promotion.

According to Reuters, the company promised to give away TVs to the first 100 people who could prove, with documents in hand, that they had been denied a U.S. visa in the last six months.

The response from Albiceleste supporters was immediate. Dozens of fans frustrated with the consular process went to the company’s offices in Buenos Aires.

After showing proof of refusal from the consulate, they went home with a brand-new TV under their arm.

This marketing strategy went viral for putting a face to a real problem. The United States will host most of the World Cup, and its strict immigration controls have become the main obstacle for South American fans.

Thanks to this initiative, at least a hundred Argentinians will be able to drown their sorrows over the frustrated “American dream” by watching Messi and the national team in ultra-high definition.
