Muscat, Oman – Reaffirming its commitment to delivering unique and globally relevant experiences, Sohar International, together with its Islamic banking window, Sohar Islamic, has launched the “Swipe & Win” campaign. This initiative gives both new and existing credit cardholders the chance to attend the FIFA World Cup 2026 through exclusive, fully curated travel packages.
Running until 15 April 2026, the campaign links eligible credit card spending to raffle draw entries. Each approved transaction of OMR 50 or more automatically qualifies as an entry, allowing cardholders to accumulate multiple chances to win—turning everyday spending into the opportunity to experience one of the world’s most prestigious sporting events.
Abdul Qadir Al Sumali, Chief Retail & Premier Banking Officer at Sohar International, said:
“Global platforms such as the FIFA World Cup transcend sport; they represent moments of international convergence and shared aspiration. By aligning this campaign with an event of such global stature, we are positioning our credit card portfolio not just as a transactional tool, but as a gateway to experiences, lifestyle, and engagement. ‘Swipe & Win’ integrates experiential value into everyday banking, strengthening customer engagement and enhancing product differentiation.”
Under the campaign, Sohar International and Sohar Islamic credit cardholders can win six FIFA World Cup 2026 travel packages: one Semi-Final package, two Round of 32 packages, and three Group Stage packages. Sohar Islamic customers are additionally eligible for two Group Stage packages, ensuring representation across both conventional and Islamic banking segments.
Each package provides an end-to-end experience, including:
- Match tickets
- Return flights from Oman to the host countries
- Four-star hotel accommodation
- Coordinated ground transfers and curated gifts
- Dedicated cultural experiences
- Visa hospitality services and a prepaid Visa product for seamless travel
Sohar International continues to focus on experience-led banking, designing initiatives that connect customers with globally significant moments while reinforcing the bank’s strategic positioning and portfolio strength.
