Barclays Stockbrokers is offering a special football-themed discount on commission on a number of investment products for as long as England stay in the World Cup .

The firm has reduced commission to £4.42 - a number familiar to fans interested in football formations - for anyone investing in equities, exchange traded funds, exchange traded commodities, investment trusts, REITs, covered warrants, turbos or structured products.

Des Byrne, managing director at Barclays Stockbrokers, said the tournament provided an opportunity to look at investments around the world.

He added: With the start of a summer dominated by sport, our clients are set to benefit from the introduction of our price promotion which is linked to England's performance in South Africa .

With online trading commission discounted to £4.42, this is a pricing formation our clients, new and existing, will not want to miss.

The World Cup begins on Friday (June 11th), while England play their first game, against the USA, on Saturday (June 12th).
