Be on the Field of Wembley at the UEFA Champions League Final

As a main sponsor for the UEFA Champions League, American manufacturer Ford was nearly obligated to come up with a move that would increase its exposure in Europe. And on Thursday, one day after what were two generous days for football (a great number of goals were scored during the first leg of the quarter finals), Ford announced the name of the game for this year's final of the competition.

All soccer fans dream of being on the Wembley Stadium for the first Champions League final to be held there, but only few will be given the chance to be on the grass of the field, in the opening ceremonies of the match.

If you are a young football player that happens to live in the UK, you might be one of the 16 people Ford will send in front of the tens of thousands that will cheer for one of the two teams on May 28.

The 16 people, which will be selected through a competition which anyone can enter at the following link, will be the ones that will display the UEFA Champions League “Starball” Banner just prior to kick-off. A small reward for those whose passion knows no boundaries...

“After 19 years, Ford remains proud of its position as a founding partner of the UEFA Champions League. This year, Ford celebrates its centenary year and is delighted to offer youth teams from Dagenham area the chance to win a place at Wembley's first ever Champions League final,” said Mark Simpson, Ford of Britain marketing director.
