Fans can access the tools, which are available in both English and Arabic languages, through many channels including www.castrolfootball.com, the ‘Castrol Football Arabia’ Facebook page and on mobile through the Castrol Football iPhone App available free from the iTunes App store.

The Castrol Predictor will allow fans to assess their team’s chances of success through the different stages of the World Cup. Castrol Performance Analysts have measured past performances from every international match in the last 10 years and simulated the tournament more than 100,000 times.

Who really is the best performing player of the tournament? The Castrol Index will help settle popular player debates, such as ‘Messi Vs Ronaldo’, as it is the definitive system to objectively analyse and rank player performances throughout the World Cup. Castrol uses the latest FIFA tracking technology to capture every pass, tackle and move from each individual player and converted into a Castrol Index score out of 10.
