The countdown to the UEFA Champions League Final 2010 has started. While FC Bayern and FC Internazionale are getting ready to compete for the Trophy in Madrid on May 22nd, football fans across Europe can experience more than their usual anticipation of watching the big showdown. For the first time in UEFA Champions League history, fans have the chance to get their very own part of the Final thanks to a context organized by UniCredit Group, Official Sponsor of the competition for 2009-2012.

UniCredit Group will send out pieces of the original confetti that traditionally rains down on the champions during the Trophy hand-over ceremony to the first 50.000 fans who register to receive this priceless memorabilia. Registration is possible from 27 April to 23 May 2010 at be-part-of-it.unicredit.eu

The website provides all details regarding the chance to get original champions confetti, including two viral spots that show the emotion of receiving that gift.
