As the England men's team waited for their match to start at Wembley, a small remote-controlled car drove onto the pitch carrying the match ball. The car has been surprising fans throughout the tournament and has won the love of many football fans. The Tiny Football Car, as it is known, has become famous throughout the Euro 2020 tournament. The little remote control car is tasked with bringing out the ball to the players before kick-off at every match. It even has its own Twitter account and goes by the handle @TinyFootballCar. The account has become extremely popular and has amassed nearly 16,000 followers on the social media platform. The Tiny Football Car is a remote-controlled version of the Volkswagen ID.4 and is a 1:5 scale replica of the real-world car. It is the official ball carrier at Euros 2020. It is used at the tournament because Volkswagen is the official sponsor of the Match Ball Carriers. The car is usually painted the standard colours of the Vauxhall ID.4 but for the final, it drove onto the pitch decked in a rainbow flag. The new colour scheme was actually the Pride flag and was chosen to celebrate and support the LGBT+ community around the world.
