Football enthusiasts raised their glasses with a Blue Cocktail to the EURO 2008 opening game between Switzerland and the Czech Republic as the Muller Martini stand began filling already at 16.00h. Following some delicious food at the buffet, space in front of the large screen and televisions quickly became scarce, and the excitement level in expectation of the start whistle began to rise! Naturally everybody was behind the Swiss national football team.

Nigel Worme, Managing Director COT Carribean Graphics/USA, was thrilled about the event: “I am enjoying the party very much. The atmosphere is great – too bad there hasn’t yet been a goal before halftime. But I’m still rooting for Switzerland.” The defeat at the end only dampened the high spirits for a short time.

The international spectators and the interesting conversations and contacts were especially worthwhile at the stand party. The resonance was unanimous: “It’s a great idea that just has to be repeated again!”

The pleasant evening at the Muller Martini stand gave rise to many interesting conversations – not just about football.
