What could be a perfect scene for soccer wallpapers but your very own stint to one of the most watched and hugely followed football meet such as the recently concluded 2008 UEFA Euro Cup championship finals?
For a huge footy fanatic, this is something more than a dream come true but what if you missed that golden ticket? This could be the end of the world. But not for the organizers, so they cooked up something as a way of extending their appreciation to their growing number of fans.
This year's recently successful 2008 Euro Cup reportedly attracts an even bigger number of non-match ticket holders that swarms the hosting cities of Austria and Vienna. In generosity, the UEFA organizers in cooperation with the hosting country have agreed to select key cities to construct what they call fan zones. These are big venues that can hold thousands of spectators where they put up huge screens that will showcase the matches. They were Vienna, Geneva, Basel, Berne, Innsbruck, Zurich, Klagenfurt, and Salzburg. These places are the witness of another revolutionized way to unite people of different places with common passion.
Aside from the game, fans were treated with other fun activities such as live performances from famous artist and bands including the Vienna Boys Choir and Vienna Symphony Orchestra. The events were really turned into festivities for the not-so lucky fans. It also created a very nice scene that features the adoring crowd from different parts of the world in an unforgettable gathering as they cheer their favorite team. A great theme that shows something I know is worth appearing in soccer wallpapers - UNITY. I just wish I was there.
