Cass has consistently strengthened its football marketing, focusing on the national football team and the FIFA World Cup. After becoming the first domestic beer brand to be selected as the official beer of the FIFA World Cup at the 2014 Brazil World Cup, Cass participated as an official sponsor for three consecutive tournaments. During the 2022 Qatar World Cup, Cass led fan culture through the launch of the "Number Cass Package" and "Cass Play Pub" activities. The brand will continue to connect with football fans worldwide as the official beer sponsor at the 2026 North and Central America World Cup next year.
