We look forward to this journey of driving new experiences and connecting with this vibrant community of fútbol fans."
Exclusive Rights and Activations:
As part of this groundbreaking partnership, Hyundai will enjoy exclusive vehicle rights across various platforms, including linear TV, digital and streaming services, social media, and U.S. grassroots activations.
