Europcar World Cup Planner

This is for our sports fans.

Europcar brings you the FIFA 2014 World Cup fixtures planner allowing you an easy way to follow the tournament which kicks off on Thursday in Brazil.

Through the planner, you can check the fixtures and results, starting line-ups and much more. Time and date are set to your local time zone. You can see more details at:http://football.europcar.ie/#sthash.mxwHZSur.dpuf

Ronan Menton, Manager of Internet Strategy at Europcar says a user can log on, see what the starting teams are, see what time a match is at, or check out the locations where the matches are being played.

He says: "We would encourage people to use the app and share it on their own websites and social media. We can provide a code that allows them to embed it on their site if they want. Europcar has spent a lot of time and money on the world cup planner and now want people to enjoy it."

The Europcar World Cup Planner is hoping to emulate the success of previous tournament planners following the success of the Rugby World Cup planner in 2011. The Rugby World Cup planner amassed some 400,000 views reaching 150,000 people with over 200 days spent on the calendar.

Europcar is Europe's largest car hire company. Its Irish operation has operations in Dublin, Cork, Shannon, Kerry, Knock, Athlone, Navan, Galway, Cavan, and Waterford.
