In the latest version of the campaign, a fan challenged Audi Middle East to light up a football pitch with the brand’s Matrix LED headlight technology. This was definitely a challenge Audi could not afford to ignore.

The challenge came from an Omani boy and Audi Middle East rose to the challenge with the help of 22 Audi Q7’s. This was the third such challenge that Audi Middle East had taken on after the ‘Audi Challenges Arabia’ campaign was launched in the region.

Zakaria Daoud lives in a remote, mountainous village in Oman that is located 1,500 meters above sea level and lacks proper paved roads. It can be reached only via a tricky 40 kilometer long offroad route. Yet, he dares to dream of becoming a pro football player. He yearned to have a proper football pitch in his village where he could play football regularly with is friends and develop his talent.
