Vailima Lager's TOA Cans: A Taste of Samoa for the World Cup

Vailima Lager has launched special edition 'TOA' cans, celebrating Samoa's rugby league team and promoting the islands to international markets.

The limited-edition cans are literally wearing the Toa Samoa kit that will be used at the Rugby League World Cup.

It's exciting to see Vailima Breweries and Rugby League Samoa team up to launch limited-edition Vailima Lager 'TOA' cans! These special cans are designed to support the Toa Samoa rugby league team for the upcoming World Cup, and they really get us into the spirit of things. What's even better is that these cans are also a fantastic way to promote Samoa to a wider audience.

The article highlights that the idea behind this partnership is to showcase Samoa, the Toa Samoa team, the Fetu Samoa women's team, and, of course, the distinct taste of Samoa to international markets. With many players based overseas, particularly in Australia, it's a clever move to get the 'Beautiful Samoa' logo and the spirit of our islands into homes there and in New Zealand and American Samoa.

Masoe Charlie Vaai, Vailima Breweries' managing director, noted the long-standing relationship between Vailima and Toa Samoa. He mentioned the team's impressive performance in the last World Cup as a significant factor. It’s wonderful that the Samoa Tourism Authority is also involved, recognising the benefit of marketing Samoa as a tourism destination, especially to Australians. While New Zealand remains a key market, growing our appeal in Australia is always a positive step. Keep an eye out for these special cans, available locally and soon to be exported – a true taste of Samoa for the world!
