UniCredit join EURO 2008 sponsors

The UniCredit Group has become the final sponsorship partner for EURO 2008, joining on as a Nationa Supporter in Austria.

The UniCredit Group is the third largest bank in Europe with 7,200 branches in 20 countries.

"EURO 2008 fits in very well with our group. It is one of the top events in Europe and, with a workforce of 142,000 and 35 million clients, we are one of the leading European banks," said Erich Hampel, chairman of Bank Austria Creditanstalt and head of the UniCredit Group's CEE division. "The fact the event is taking place in Austria is ideal for us, as we have strong roots in Austria by virtue of Bank Austria Creditanstalt."

UEFA filled all ten positions in its global event sponsorship programme for EURO 2008 by November 2006. The announcement of Unicredit Group as a National Supporter completed the sponsorship list for the event.
