Its fully branded and product-equipped Hisense tour bus will make its way through Europe in the group stages, to Russia in the knockout stages and ultimately the FIFA World Cup Final, with special guests along the way pushing 'incredible' on the ground activities to the world through social media.
A world-leading consumer electronics and home appliances company, headquartered in Qingdao, China, Hisense is the first ever Chinese consumer electronic brand to sponsor the tournament.

Lloyd Griffith said: "I'm absolutely buzzing to be part of Hisense's 'See the Incredible Tour'! As a huge football fan, attending the World Cup will probably be the biggest moment of my life, up there with Grimsby Town versus Forest Green. I'm excited to meet other fans and hear all the incredible FIFA World Cup stories and moments out there - I'm sure we're going to have some mega lols along the way too. I may not have made the England squad, but I'm over the moon to be on the bus to Russia with Hisense. I'd better start brushing up on my Spanish and French and German... and Russian lingos!"
