Copa90 collaborates with Facebook on the Facebook Football Awards

Copa90 is teaming up with Facebook on this year’s Facebook Football Awards. As part of the partnership, Copa90 has created animated video promos to run worldwide.
The annual Facebook Football Awards, which first launched in the UK last year, gives football fans the chance to vote for the season’s top performers.
This year, the awards have expanded to include Spain and Germany alongside the UK. The categories include Player of the Year, Young Player of the Year, Manager of the Year and Club of the Year.

Copa90 has created three animated videos to promote the Facebook Football Awards, one for the UK, Germany and Spain. Each of the films highlights the key categories fans can cast their vote in. The videos are short animations in the style of super hero comics, telling the stories of the teams and players nominated for the awards.
