FIFA drops case against Dutch "ambush marketers"

FIFA has decided not to pursue its case in the South African courts against two Dutch women accused of illegal involvement in an ambush marketing campaign.

According to Reuters, a spokesman for South Africa’s National Prosecuting Authority said: “FIFA was not interested in proceeding with the matter.

"There was a settlement that was reached between the parties and we decided to exercise discretion and not proceed with the matter.”

The women were among several dozen wearing revealing orange dresses at the match between the Netherlands and Denmark, suspected of being part of a promotion by the brewer Bavaria.
