A Dream That Goes On
Dear Friends,
Words are not enough to describe the appreciation, enthusiasm and friendship that you have shown
in the past few months.
The incredible number of proposals, ideas and suggestions we received, all more than welcome of course,
has convinced us that “the” Champions Bank has immediately become “our” Champions Bank.
We are very proud of that and we will do our best to turn every year into a unique opportunity to share
sport and friendship among colleagues who may live and work a long way from each other but can meet
together for an unrepeatable occasion in their working and sports life.
This year we will be in Belgrade again enjoying the hospitality of this incredible sports Country called Serbia.
In 2016 Champions Bank will take us all to another city that will be revealed in September.
Once again the fantastic Nova Pazova Federation Sports Centre, the Crowne and… more teams than ever,
new friends, new worldwide sports celebrities, a new social auction, matches streamed on the web and...
a lot of surprises!
It is a ple asurewould to thank MasterCard and our sponsors who are helping us all to make this dream
become true.
We wanted to start off with George Bernard Shaw’s famous statement because we think that it is the essence
of soccer which is made up of passion and enjoyment. The reason we make this event.
See you in Belgrade then and remember to bring your smile and your desire to play…
we will take care, as usual, of all the rest!
