There seems to be some sort of a kismat connection between IIFA and UK. The first-ever IIFA - London's Millenium Dome, IIFA Yorkshire brought the IIFA for the second time to the UK and now, renowned footballers from the UK are to grace the grand event in Macau. So if IIFA Yorkshire was a cricketing extravaganza, Macau may well turn into one football frenzy city as the best of the best in football heroes are going to make their presence felt at the green carpet event. Every year, IIFA sees a host of Indian celebrities as well as international film personalities attending the IIFA weekend. Abhishek Bachchan, we're sure, will be looking forward to meet his favourite Chelsea footballers. Internationally renowned John Terry and Frank Lampard have confirmed their attendance at IIFA Macau.

Besides the presence of Bollywood biggies including the Bachchans, Hrithik Roshan, Shahid Kapoor, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Kangna Ranaut, Priyanka Chopra, Lara Dutta and renowned filmmaker Subhash Ghai amongst others will make the IIFA Weekend 2009 a special and wonderful experience for one and all. Keeping last year's trend alive this year too, Ritiesh Deshmukh and Boman Irani are all set to take the main stage as hosts to the IIFA Awards and tickle the funnybones with their antics that were loved by the industry and audiences alike.

The 10th IIFA Awards promise some electrifying on-stage performances by Sonam Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor. The IIFA weekend will be viewed by 600 million people globally and is expected to pull in thousands of visitors across the world during this three-day prestigious event. The weekend will start on June 11th 2009 and the IIFA Awards will be given to the best in the Indian Cinema at a star-studded extravaganza on 13th June 2009.
