Etisalat customers were overwhelmed as they expressed their joy and shared their memorable experience of watching Football Club Barcelona’s match against Real Madrid in Santiago Bernabéu stadium. The winners traveled with the FCB team on a private jet and had a chance to interact with their favorite football players, the likes of Messi and Henry, players that FCB fans love to see on-field.

Rami Sami Suleiman, one of the lucky winners, said, “Watching FCB in action was an experience of a lifetime. Etisalat surprised us by providing us the opportunity to travel with the team. To interact with my favorite players on flight, especially after the win, was simply exhilarating! From the well organised tour of the stadium, trip to the museum, to the private jet ride with players, we were treated like royalties all throughout!”

A second excited winner, Alexander Jankovic, exclaimed, “The whole trip was a dream come true. I couldn’t believe that I got this chance till the very last moment when I got on to the plane. After that, every experience from meeting the team to watching the match live at the stadium, was a fantastic one, and I thank Etisalat for making it happen.”

As FCB’s Official International Partner, Etisalat had earlier announced an opportunity for its customers to win the trip by simply subscribing to its FCB news alerts. Customers can still subscribe and receive all the FCB football update by sending SMS ‘FCB’ to 1110.
