HNB PLC, in partnership with Visa, has awarded an HNB Visa Club Infinite Credit Cardholder a fully paid experience for two at the FIFA World Cup 2026™ Final in New York New Jersey, the culmination of an exclusive promotion open to Visa Club Infinite cardholders.

The lucky winner was selected through a raffle draw held among HNB Visa Club Infinite Credit Cardholders who met the promotion's minimum spend requirement. Reflecting on the win, the cardholder said, "This has been an incredible moment for me. I have always liked how easily my card fits into everyday life; from the convenience it offers to the range of services that come with it. To be recognised in this way, with an experience like this, means a great deal, and I am truly thankful to HNB and Visa."

HNB's Premier Cards portfolio consistently delivers curated privileges and exclusive global experiences to its cardholders throughout the year, reinforcing its commitment to differentiated and value-driven banking.

As the worldwide partner of FIFA, Visa continues to bring fans closer to the game through exclusive campaigns and cardholder experiences across the world, transforming everyday payments into access points for extraordinary global experiences.

HNB COO, Sanjay Wijemanne said, "This campaign was built around a simple idea, that our Club Infinite cardholders should have access to experiences most people only watch from a distance. Matching card spend directly to a seat at the FIFA World Cup 2026™Final gave us a clear, measurable way to deliver on that, and we are glad it worked out for one of our cardholders exactly as it was designed to."

The FIFA World Cup 2026™ Final is scheduled for 19 July 2026 at the New York New Jersey Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, the designated host venue for the championship match of the largest FIFA World Cup in history, the first to feature 48 competing nations across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

Avanthi Colombage, Country Manager, Sri Lanka and Maldives, Visa added, "At Visa, we are excited to see the FIFA World Cup 2026™ journey come alive for an HNB Visa Club Infinite cardholder, and we hope the winner enjoys this truly memorable experience. Our global partnership with FIFA is part of our broader focus on sport as a powerful passion pillar, enabling us to connect with fans through moments they value deeply. Through our collaboration with HNB, we are bringing that passion closer to Sri Lanka, turning everyday payments into access to exceptional experiences for premium cardholders."

For HNB's Visa Club Infinite cardholders, the campaign reflects the Bank's approach to premium banking, that the value of a card should be felt well beyond the transaction.
