The World Cup is where footballers come to showcase football in all its glamour. In each hosting of the World Cup, there is enough talent, thrill, trepidation, jubilation and despair to last us a lifetime. For any devotee, the paragon of any World Cup is the goals scored.
So what’s the greatest goal ever to have been scored? Was it Argentine Diego Maradona’s infamous “Hand of God” goal in 1986 vs England? Or was it Ronaldo’s two second-half goals to clinch Brazil’s fifth title in 2002?
Admittedly, all of these goals have earned their place in the history. But for Hyundai Motor, there’s a much bigger kind of goal to aspire for–the “Goal of the Century” (GOTC) that the South Korean automaker hopes to achieve in the upcoming FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.
The GOTC is the brand’s pledge that is part and in fulfillment of the company’s Carbon-Neutral Agenda 2045 to neutralize CO2 emissions at all stages of production and operation.
Harnessing the pure value of team spirit and togetherness created by the universal love of football, Hyundai Motor, with and through FIFA, is engaging with people all over the world towards one big goal.

Sustainability partner
Hyundai Motor first joined forces with FIFA in 1999 and has since then become its automotive provider and sponsor.
This time, the brand is taking a step further to position itself as a sustainability partner by deploying eco-friendly vehicles to this year’s FIFA World Cup, a first in the history of the event.
The fleet, which will include the IONIQ 5 and Santa Fe Hybrid and Elec City Bus, are going to be used to transport national team players, VIPs and event officials.
Moreover, to expand reach and spread the cause, Hyundai Motor is also pledging 1 percent of its sponsorship fee to Common Goal, the world’s leading social movement in football.
A group of ambassadors, called the “Team Century”, was formed by the brand led by former England national team player Steven Gerrard, K-pop supergroup BTS, Afghan refugee soccer player and Danish UNESCO ambassador Nadia Nadim, American fashion designer Jeremy Scott, contemporary Italian artist Lorenzo Quinn, visual storyteller Nicky Woo, South Korean football icon Jisung Park, former Oman national team goalkeeper Ali Al-Habsi and Boston Dynamics’ Spot robot.
