Etisalat announced today the names of their lucky customers who won an all expenses paid trip to watch the El Clasico live, the most powerful football match in the La Liga tournament between arch rivals Real Madrid vs. Football Club Barcelona (FCB) at Santiago Bernabeu stadium in Madrid, Spain.
In a unique opportunity, the five lucky winners of Etisalat’s ‘Travel with the Team’ promotion will fly to Barcelona to accompany the FCB team on their way to Madrid on a private jet along with the team’s management and staff. The fully paid trip includes air-tickets, paid accommodation and match tickets for FCB’s upcoming encounter with Real Madrid on 10 April 2010.
The winning group consists of 5 lucky participants who won the chance to interact with their favorite football players and much more. Anne Abraham, from Canada; UAE National Saud Abdulaziz Alnjawi and Rami Sami Suleiman from Jordan participated and won by subscribing to the FCB news alerts via SMS. While the other two winners, Tareq Naseeb Ali Saleem Dawood from the UAE and Alexander Jankovic from Serbia, scored their lucky win on the radio competition that ran during the promotion period.
As part of its collaboration with FCB as the ‘Official International Partner’, Etisalat provided its customers the opportunity to travel with the team to Barcelona last year where the winners had the chance to interact with the team on route Camp Nou to catch the El Clasico football action live. The group of winners who traveled to Barcelona enjoyed the experience of a lifetime with the private jet ride with players, tour of the stadium and trip to the museum to acquaint themselves with more of FCB’s history and achievements.
Etisalat launched its ‘Etisalat Barca Mobile’ platform through the Weyak gateway earlier this year to celebrate Etisalat’s first partnership anniversary with FCB, offering fans complete updated information on all the FC Barcelona football action, championships and matches.

As football lovers, Etisalat has a long association with the sport, having supported the most popular football initiatives in the UAE and enabling customers and all UAE residents to get closer to their favorite game. It has sponsored the Etisalat Pro League, as well as UAE club teams competing in international competitions, vigorously contributing to nurture and develop the national football talent.
