December 15 – Arsenal’s automotive partner Citroën has activated its sponsorship with a promotion for the Citroën C4 Cactus which has first team stars playing Footpool on a specially created ‘table’ using the car’s Airbump technology.
French players Olivier Giroud and Laurent Koscielny take on Germans Mesut Özil and Per Mertesacker on the Airbump® Footpool table – the Airbump technology forms the cushions of the pool-style table.
The game is played like a classic game of pool with the winning team being the one that pots all their balls first using their feet – with a few trick shots thrown in. While the French exhibited a certain style, like many European challenges in football, the Germans won, perhaps sending a pre-tournament warning to their Euro2016 hosts.
Airbump® technology is a feature of the Citroën C4 Cactus and is designed to protect the bodywork from minor bumps and scrapes.
Citroën will be extending the promotion and taking the Airbump® Footpool table to Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium early in 2016 giving fans an opportunity to try it out for themselves.
