Gianni Franco Papa, head of the Central and Eastern Europe Division of UniCredit, also added about the deal that “The sponsorship of the Euro 2012 marks another significant milestone in UniCredit’s commitment to sport.

This sponsorship will further increase our brand awareness in Central and Eastern Europe, a key region for UniCredit, and it specifically demonstrates the Group’s strong and dynamic commitment to Ukraine.”
