UEFA Champions League site up for Lovie Awards

The official UEFA Champions League website has been chosen as a finalist in the sports section and shortlisted in the editorial category of the third Annual Lovie Awards.

The UEFA Champions League section on UEFA.com, which covers Europe's premier club football competition, has been nominated by the International Academy of Digital Arts & Sciences panel for the European version of their Webby awards (for which the section was nominated earlier this year). The voting for the People's Lovie runs until 10 October.
