Goal-den McFlurry with Caramilk

Sweeten matchday with the Goal-den McFlurry with Caramilk. Creamy vanilla soft serve, rich caramel sauce and a crunchy coconut topping. A big win, even if your team didn’t get one. 

From the sidelines

Mary Vrancic, Senior Marketing Director at McDonald’s Australia, said: “At Macca’s, magic happens when people come together to share the moments they care about most – and for many Aussies, that’s sport. From late-night kicks offs to nail-biting penalty shoot-outs, Macca’s has long been part of how Aussies do matchday, whether it’s a quick bite before the game, more Fries during extra time or something sweet to celebrate (or soften) the big moments.

“As football icons take the field to unite fans across continents, Macca’s will be there from the first whistle to the final minute serving up limited-time meals and keepsakes so fans of all ages can be part of the excitement throughout the tournament and beyond.”

David Beckham said “Football is about much more than what happens on the pitch. Campaigns like this bring fans and families together and build the excitement in the lead up and during the FIFA World Cup tournament.”

Lamine Yamal said “Only at McDonald’s do I get to team up with Grimace – he’s got flow. Working with McDonald’s means celebrating the World Cup in a fun way – good food, good energy, and sharing those moments with family, friends, and fans.”
