Irn Bru team up with Skyscanner to launch whacky giveaway as fans given chance to win 2026 World Cup flights
The brands have come together to launch SkyCANner; IRN-BRU cans that will come with flights to North America next summer
The 2026 FIFA World Cup draw is set to take place later today as Scotland prepare to discover their fate and the Tartan Army will begin planning their travel arrangements to North America.
And now with tens of thousands of Scots expected to rush to book flights following the draw in Washington DC, IRN-BRU has teamed up with Skyscanner to launch SkyCANner - a giveaway that will help a handful of lucky fans get to the tournament with ease.
Scotland’s supporters have shown incredible grit during one of the most memorable qualification runs in living memory. Now, in collaboration with Skyscanner, IRN-BRU is giving supporters the chance to breeze into next summer’s 2026 kick-off.
Three lucky fans and their pals will each get their hands on a set of specially marked cans, that come with a return flight to game destinations next summer, as well as £1000 towards accommodation.
Since qualifying, Skyscanner has already seen a 60% increase in searches from the UK to Canada, US and Mexico. With all eyes on today’s draw, a further surge of bookings by our world-famous army of fans is expected - with speculation that next year could see a record breaking exodus of Scots across the Atlantic.
To beat the rush of bagging flights, three sets of cans have been released with the SkyCANner giveaway, each to be delivered with 2 x return flights to one of the three destinations Scotland will visit during the Group stage, as well as a £1000 hotel voucher and ‘Made in Scotland from Girders’ T-shirts.
Speaking about the giveaway, Kenny Nicholson, director of brand at IRN-BRU said: “Our fans are the epitome of ‘Made in Scotland from Girders’. From a near Greek tragedy, to an 11th hour reprieve from Belarus, culminating in a fairytale win against Denmark, we’ve been on an emotional rollercoaster - and next summer is the celebration no-one will want to miss.
“In tribute to this legendary spirit, we’ve teamed up with Skyscanner to create an IRN-BRU delivery that will help fans bypass the rush and bag their travel ahead of time, no hassle.”
Fans will be asked to comment ‘We’ve got Girders’ on a IRN-BRU and Skyscanner post that will go live on Friday morning, with three people plus a friend each being chosen at random to go to the biggest celebration of football Scotland has ever known.
Full details of the giveaway can be found via the official Irn Bru Instagram page here with the SkyCANner giveaway going live at 8am on the day of the day, Friday 5th.
Three winners will be randomly selected to join what promises to be the biggest celebration of Scotland National Team football ever.
