Heard that the Mastercard lawyers are already lobbying hard against Bitcoin and spending millions of USD. I don't think that the Bitcoin foundation can compete them by doing a counter-lobbying.
Bitcoin is worldwide Mastercard is not , so unless they lobby worldwide the have a small chance.
But you need registration for thoose cards , and thats a problem for 90% of the population.

A number of countries have warned against bitcoin, creating an ugly perception of the cryptocurrency. Yet the decentralized digital payment has enough of a footing to hire lobbyists to combat that idea and potentially help pave the way to its legitimacy.
