In just a few hours, the UEFA Europa league cup final will begin and football fans all over the UK, not to mention the rest of Europe, will be leaving work early to watch this match. With British pride on the line this year, the viewership should be impressive. Both teams are strong and those into odds know they are very split, without a huge favourite. After the gruelling match commences in Hamburg, there is nothing anyone can really do except watch and support their team the best they can and while there will be plenty of fans of Fulham FC around, expect more than just a few fans of Club Atletico de Madrid to be watching these matches as well.

Club Atletico de Madrid – Celebrate with Red and White Sky Lanterns

For those that follow football, Madrid’s team has a very lengthy history. The team was formed in 1903 and has a tradition of being a strong team, especially since the 1960’s on. Their team colours began as blue and white but these had to change in 1911 so they could continue playing. They changed their colours then to their well known red and white that they continue to use today.

For those few blokes out there that will be supporting Club Atletico de Madrid, they will wish they could show their support in a very public manner. A great way to do this is using night sky lanterns. These lanterns are similar to the style of Chinese lanterns but are more modern in their design and far better for the environment. A couple sets of large sky lanterns, one in red and one in white, both launched after the game begins will tell neighbours and others farther away that you are supporting Madrid. These lanterns can be purchased here: http://www.nightskylanterns.co.uk/sky-lanterns/2-x-large-sky-lanterns/prod_27.html Sharpie brand permanent markers can be added to any order and can be used to write on the lanterns before sending them up.

Fulham FC – Celebrate with Blue and White Chinese Hanging Lanterns

The Fulham FC team has an even longer history as a football team. They actually formed in 1879 and in 1907 were invited to join the Football League, Second Division. They have one UEFA cup under their belt from 2002 but have many other victories and tournament wins as well. This season’s UEFA Europa League final is an important step for Fulham FC.

While the team may be in Hamburg playing, they know they are being watched and supported at home. Let your fellow football fans know you are supporting Fulham FC with the launch of sky lanterns. These improved Chinese lanterns are available in our exclusive eco model which have no wire and are 100% biodegradable. They are available in white, blue and many other colours and can be purchased here:  http://www.nightskylanterns.co.uk/eco-lanterns/mixed-colour-eco-lanterns-5pk/prod_47.html Setting of 10 lanterns this afternoon while the guys from Fulham FC are taking a break between play helps let everyone know you are supporting the home team in this football tournament.
