Moreover, there will be 100 rare cards and unlimited free common cards. These prizes will be given to the players that line-up the best five cards each week.

This new partnership will also be useful for AS Roma and the brand they represent. This is something that several football teams are thinking of: having more representation in different economic sectors.
