The Campaign

Audi supports the dreams of a talented boy to become a professional footballer, by delivering, building, and lighting up a football pitch for him. Our protagonist, Zakaria is a young boy who lives in the small village of Balad Sayt, Oman. It’s a remote village surrounded by majestic mountains. He has a big dream: to become a professional footballer. Through interviews done with Zakaria, his father and an old neighbour – as well as the footage captured, we learn that Zakaria faces a big obstacle. Living so far away from everything, there isn’t proper infrastructure for him to train. Audi decides to support his dreams. A total of 22 Audi Q7 travel to the mountainous village. Even though the roads are rough and dangerous, Audi persists in their mission. In the end, we deliver, build and light up a football pitch. It shows Audi's commitment to progress, under any condition.
