2. Phase – Voting
Once the jury has selected the 10 (ten) finalists ("Top 10"), the corresponding videos will be published on the official website of the initiative and will be admitted to the second phase of the competition, which will consist of a further selection through an online vote ("voting") open to the public.

At the end of the voting period, the valid votes cast will be counted to determine the final ranking in accordance with the modalities provided for in these Terms and Conditions.

Regarding the voting phase, each registered user can cast exactly one vote for one of the videos of the participants in the top 10. The vote cast is unique and cannot be changed.
The Promoter reserves the right to exclude entrants from the Competition or to void votes if fraudulent behaviour, the use of automated systems, multiple registrations attributable to the same person or any other activity that is not in line with the spirit of the initiative is detected.
- Procedures for awarding prizes
1st phase – participation and submission of the application
Among all valid entries, as well as all duly uploaded videos that meet the requirements set out in these Terms and Conditions, a panel of judges appointed by the Promoter or by third parties appointed by the Promoter will evaluate the entries submitted and determine the Top 10, i.e. the 10 (ten) best Entrants who will be admitted to the next phase of the Competition ("Top 10").
The selection is made on the basis of the results obtained in the technical-sporting and aptitude-related questionnaire as well as on the basis of qualitative criteria of the video, such as – but not exhaustively:
- Football technique: degree of demonstrated skills in handling the ball, precision of movements, control and quality of execution of technical elements;
- Creativity and originality: ability of the participant to propose actions, technical combinations or creative and distinctive solutions in the creation of the video;
- Spectacular character and difficulty of execution: complexity and visual impact of the skills shown, as well as the difficulty of the technical elements performed;
- Membership, at any level and in any capacity, in the amateur or semi-professional football environment, in amateur or semi-professional teams, for example – but not limited to – in roles such as coach, instructor, athletic trainer, staff of football schools, clubs or sports organisations.
The jury may also take into account the clarity of the video as well as its ability to highlight the participant's abilities in order to allow a correct evaluation of the football skills shown.
The decisions of the jury are final and incontestable and are made on the basis of an overall evaluation of the applications received.
The "Top 10" will be determined in the presence of a notary or the authority responsible for consumer protection and public faith (art. 9 of the D.P.R. 26 October 2001, no. 430) within the date indicated above.
2. Phase – Voting
At the end of the period set aside for the voting phase, a jury appointed by the Organiser will determine the winners of the Competition in accordance with the procedures described below.
The participant whose video has received the highest number of valid votes during the online voting phase will automatically be selected as the first place winner and will win the "The Match of Your Life" experience (see point 8.1 for details).
The jury will then re-examine the video entries of the remaining 9 (nine) finalists and, based on a comprehensive qualitative evaluation (taking into account, for example, the football technique shown, creativity, originality and spectacularity of execution), will determine the final ranking from second to fifth place.
The participants in places 2 to 5 will also be declared winners and will each receive a prize.
Entrants ranked 6th to 10th will be considered substitute candidates and will be contacted if any of the winners do not accept the prize.
The winners will be determined in the presence of a notary or the authority responsible for consumer protection and public faith (art. 9 of the D.P.R. 26 October 2001, no. 430) within the date indicated above.
The decisions of the jury are final and incontestable. The prizes will thus be awarded to a total of 5 (five) winners as follows:
- Place: Participants with the highest number of votes during the voting phase;
- 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th place: Participants selected by the jury from among the remaining finalists.
Equal points (ex aequo)
If, at the end of the voting phase, two or more participants have received the same number of valid votes, the jury will make a comparative evaluation of the corresponding video entries in order to determine the participant who will be declared first.
Likewise, if there is a tie between two or more finalists in determining the final ranking, the jury will carry out a further evaluation of the entries to determine the final order and determine the participants in places 2 to 5.
The decisions made by the jury to resolve ties are final and incontestable.
Note: To the extent necessary to verify proper participation, the Promoter reserves the right to request a copy of the winners' ID card or other valid document. If the data provided during registration in the online form does not match the document presented, the prize cannot be assigned.
Winners will not be able to dispute the prize allocated, demand its monetary equivalent, or request an exchange or replacement for any reason. However, if the Promoter is unable to provide the prize won, it reserves the right to substitute the announced prizes with other prizes of equal or greater value (Circular of 28.03.2002, point 9.6).
