Sri Lankan football fans now have an unprecedented opportunity to own memorabilia signed by two of the greatest footballers of all time, as Ritzbury Roccoa launched a nationwide promotional campaign featuring what they claim are authentic jerseys personally signed by Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Organisers said that in addition to the Messi jersey, participants also stand a chance to win an authentic Portugal team jersey signed by Cristiano Ronaldo.

The promotion will run until August 20, 2026. Consumers can enter by purchasing any Ritzbury Roccoa chocolate, scanning the QR code on the product packaging, or following the instructions available on Roccoa’s official social media pages to access the competition website. Each chocolate purchased qualifies as one entry, and participants may enter as many times as they wish.

Beyond the two grand prizes, the campaign also features 300 giveaway prizes, with 10 winners selected daily over a 30-day period to receive exclusive customised jerseys according to the organisers.

Niluksha Bastianz, General Manager – Marketing at CBL Foods International said football has a unique ability to unite people and create unforgettable experiences while noting that the promotion will allow Sri Lankan football fans to become part of the excitement surrounding the FIFA World Cup 2026 giving them the opportunity to own a special piece of football history.
