AC Milan
Boomerang Partners delivers TIME TO WIN main prize with Milanello experience
Boomerang Partners, an Official Regional Partner of AC Milan, has delivered the main prize of its completed TIME TO WIN affiliate tournament. It ran from February 12 to March 31, 2026, with 57 affiliate teams taking part. Two winning teams travelled to Milan for a three-day programme built around the Club. The winners attended AC Milan v Juventus at San Siro Stadium, visited Casa Milan and the Mondo Milan Museum, and completed the trip with an exclusive visit to Milanello Sports Centre powered by Clivet.
Matchday at San Siro opened the three-day programme


The programme began on April 26 with AC Milan v Juventus at San Siro Stadium. The winning teams arrived at the stadium ahead of kick-off and were met by an AC Milan representative, who guided the group through the matchday process.
Before the match, the guests were taken to the pitchside area to watch the teams warming up. The partners had time to take photos and videos from close to the field. After the warm-up, they watched the match from their seats and experienced the atmosphere of one of the key fixtures of the Serie A calendar. The group also had access to the hospitality lounge with food and drinks before and during the match.
Inside Casa Milan: history, trophies, and hospitality

On April 27, the programme continued at Casa Milan, where the group joined a guided Mondo Milan Museum tour in English. The tour covered AC Milan’s history, trophies, and key achievements, giving partners more context after the matchday experience at San Siro Stadium.
After the Mondo Milan Museum tour, the winners had time to visit the Casa Milan Store. The hospitality part of the day continued with snacks and drinks arranged for the group. The partners also received AC Milan shirts, which became a pleasant surprise during the visit.
The final day brought winners to Milanello


On April 28, the winners visited Milanello Sports Centre powered by Clivet, AC Milan’s legendary training base. The group was welcomed in the hospitality area before starting a tour of the facility, including the training fields and facilities used by the team.
Daniele Massaro, Club Ambassador and former AC Milan player, also joined the group at Milanello. He spoke with the guests and signed autographs. After the tour, the partners watched the team training session and joined an autograph session with the players. They also had time to speak with them, take photos, and have AC Milan shirts signed.
For the winning teams, Milanello was the strongest part of the programme. It gave them access to a setting usually closed to the public and direct contact with the Club, its players, and its training environment.
Liliia Sudachenko, Affiliate Team Lead at Boomerang Partners, who joined the winners during the trip, commented: “The trip went very well, and the feedback from partners was extremely positive. The programme was rich and very well organized, but balanced enough for everyone to enjoy all three days in Milan without feeling exhausted. The strongest emotions came from the pitchside access before AC Milan v Juventus, the warm-up at San Siro, the visit to Milanello, and the opportunity to meet the players, take photos, and get autographs. For us, the main result was stronger relationships with partners and a higher level of trust in Boomerang Partners. Everyone genuinely enjoyed the time in Milan, and for us that reaction was the best confirmation of the value of this prize.”

Duelbits signs Justin Gaethje for branded content ahead of UFC Freedom 250
The JUSTIN2026 campaign was shot in Denver and rolls out over four weeks ahead of the 14 June event at the White House.
Duelbits has launched a branded content campaign with UFC interim Lightweight Champion Justin Gaethje, timed to UFC Freedom 250 at the White House on Saturday 14th June.
The campaign, branded JUSTIN2026, was shot on location in Denver, Colorado by UK-based creative agency YRDS. Duelbits said the content is designed as a “premium, cinematic series” and will roll out in phases over the next four weeks, peaking on event day.
According to the company, the campaign was planned before UFC Freedom was officially confirmed. Duelbits framed the early commitment as part of a strategy to move faster than traditional sportsbooks around major cultural moments.
“We didn’t want to create another sportsbook promo,” said Jasper Hoekert, Chief Marketing Officer at Duelbits. “We wanted to create something that combat sports fans want to watch, content built around Justin’s authenticity and intensity, not just his fight record. We were planning this before the White House event was even officially confirmed. When you believe in the magnitude of a moment, you don’t wait for permission to act on it.”
“Duelbits came to me with a vision, not just a brief,” said Gaethje. “They wanted to create something that reflected the reality of what I do and who I am, with no smoke and mirrors. When a brand shows up with that kind of conviction and creative ambition, you back it. This campaign is going to be something people remember.”
