I officially present Goran Pandev as Ambassador of the UEFA Super Cup, 2017. Goran, you played the Super Cup with Inter in 2010, we all cheered for you and expected you to lift the trophy in Monaco. You didn't manage to do that then with Inter, but your role now is much more noble. I want to congratulate you that now, at home in Macedonia you are going to lift this big trophy and you are going to promote the UEFA Super Cup and our country as host of the event, stated Gjorgjioski.

We all know that this game will be played between the winners of the UEFA Champions' League and UEFA Europa League, and it will be a great pleasure to see the two best European clubs in Skopje, said the best Macedonian football player. I would personally like to see a game between Manchester United from the Europa League and one of the quarterfinal duel between Barcelona and Juventus, said Pandev.

However, I know that we are going to be good hosts for every team that comes to Skopje. To all my friends from Juventus and their supporters - if they win the Champions' League - I can only say that they will be warmly welcomed.
