Insane? EURO 2020 Mascot Revealed
The official mascot for UEFA EURO 2020 has been unveiled during a spectacular pre-match display in Amsterdam. It is called Meet Skillzy, a larger-than-life character inspired by freestyling, street and panna culture.
Accompanied by two of the world's leading freestylers, Liv Cooke and Tobias Becs, Skillzy showed off a few moves to the 55,000 crowd ahead of the European Qualifier between the Netherlands and Germany.
"Being able to take the beauty of freestyling, street football and panna to football fans all over Europe is a really special opportunity," says Liv, an English former freestyle world champion and Together #WePlayStrong ambassador. Whether it's playing in the park or on the world stage, whether it is football or freestyling, it's about expressing yourself with the ball at your feet."
Skillzy - UEFA EURO 2020 Mascot
With UEFA having unveiled the mascot for the EURO 2020, people from all 12 UEFA EURO 2020 host nations are now invited to show what they can do: upload a video of skills that best represent your host city and become a local UEFA EURO 2020 freestyler.
Liv and Tobias will shortlist the entries for a public vote when two people (one male, one female) will be chosen for each of the host cities: Amsterdam, Baku, Bilbao, Bucharest, Budapest, Copenhagen, Dublin, Glasgow, London, Munich, Rome and Saint Petersburg. The 24 winners will become local UEFA EURO 2020 Freestylers and will get the chance to display their skills at selected events.
"UEFA EURO 2020 will be one of the biggest sporting events in history, and the involvement of freestyle culture will only enhance it as a spectacle and make sure there is something for everyone," says Tobias, a former European champion from Norway. "This feels like a really exciting crossover moment."

MLS Players Wear Their National Flags on Kits Ahead of 2026 World Cup
Major League Soccer last weekend hosted a dedicated "Farewell Week" to send off its international stars. To mark the occasion, all clubs across the domestic league took to the pitch wearing specially customized kits that honored the various nations represented within their squads.
The most prominent visual update to the MLS uniforms was the addition of official national flags printed directly on the chest for all players and coaching staff. In a highly thoughtful and personalized touch, the league provided specialized double-flag variations for athletes holding dual citizenship. This bespoke detail allowed these specific players to proudly represent both their current homelands and their heritage simultaneously before joining their respective national team camps.
Beyond the chest graphics, teams also sported a unique set of squad numbers on the back of their shirts, featuring a custom pattern made up of the flags of all 48 countries participating in this summer's World Cup.
