William Musinguzi of Kitooro town in Entebbe was the first lucky winner of an all expenses paid trip to Milan and couldn’t hide his excitement when the Pepsi team visited his Thomas Amasega shop.
“I still can’t believe it,” he confessed after he was presented with a dummy ticket. “I am very excited about the opportunity and I can’t wait for the trip,” he added.
While he is a Manchester United fan, Musinguzi expects FC Barcelona to lift the trophy and he can’t wait to see players like Lionel Messi and Andreas Iniesta.
It will be such an experience watching these players, I have seen them on TV but it is not the same.
Musinguzi wasn’t the only winner though; Elly Muhwezi of Kansanga and Abel Kafanka of Bukoto will also enjoy the 7-day treat in Italy.
Muhwezi is a Barcelona fan and runs a small business in Kansanga, the only time he crossed the border was when he was going to Rwanda and he too can’t wait to get onto the plane.
I am really happy about the opportunity, I had my doubts about the promotion but I decided to just give it a try.
For Kafanka, it will not be the first time he goes to Italy. He has lived in Switzerland before and he often visited Torino albeit has never been to Milan. Because his team (Manchester United) is already out, Kafanka will be behind Madrid because of one man — Cristiano Ronaldo. “I hope Madrid make it to the final, I may not be a fan but I am a sympathizer because of Ronaldo,”
Seven more winners are expected to get themselves tickets to watch the Champions League final slated for May 28th at the San Siro stadium in Milan. Go to the Pepsi Uganda Facebook page to find out how to stand a chance.
