Birra Moretti Trophy

The Trofeo Birra Moretti (Birra Moretti Trophy) was an annual football friendly tournament that had been organised and sponsored by Birra Moretti from 1997 to 2008.[1] The teams played three round-robin matches lasting 45-minutes each. If any match ended in a draw, it was decided by shoot-outs or penalties (as in 2008 edition).

After 2008, the event has not taken place anymore. Officially, Heineken Italia announced its intention to suspend it for only one year in 2009, coinciding with a change of promotional strategies at the 150th anniversary of Beer Moretti S.p.A., but was not resumed even in the following years.

gollark: Oh, so if you drop representatives SUDDENLY governments will do exactly what you want?
gollark: I mostly prefer private companies to do things rather than the government, because the government is (locally) a monopoly.
gollark: Besides, private people are in fact capable of altruism.
gollark: How are "state" and "public" different, exactly?
gollark: Eh, I don't really want the government doing *more* things.
