Friday, 14.10., 6 o’clock, the Trophy Tour Village is in its last preparations to host fans, journalists and football legends to join the UEFA Champions League Trophy.

At the same time in south Serbia six 8 year old footballers from Prokuplje are too excited to sleep. They are jumping into the van that will take them to the final tournament of Open Fun Football Schools organized by UniCredit Bank Serbia in cooperation with UniCredit Foundation. The tournament will take place in Kalemegdan Park, next to the UEFA Champions League Trophy Tour Village in Belgrade.

The kids are the first team arriving at the football pitch even though they are coming from the most distant part of Serbia. For them, the mini football pitch looks as big as Wembley Stadium. They all came here with the same goal – to win the mini tournament.

There are 7 other teams they have to play against, but the young footballers are indeed self confident, because they know that they are a team. Having the football legends Luís Figo, Ruud Gullit and Stevan “Dika” Stojanović at the spot watching the matches is giving an enormous motivation at the exhibition. The stars’ signatures and their support are inspiring the kids’ game. Young footballers seem to fly over the pitch, they are dribbling and shooting amazing goals. The dream of these kids slowly is coming true.

Ruud Gullit and Stevan Stojanović are handing over the trophy and medals to them. While giving handshakes, the football legends are wishing them to win the most prestigious trophy one day – the trophy children all around the world are dreaming of.

You can see tears in their eyes, you can see happiness in their smiles and you can see that they will fight for their dreams. UniCredit Bank was honored to organize such an amazing tournament with support of the Open Fun Football Schools. And it was very proud of getting the opportunity to MAKE KIDS SMILE!
