Welcome Skillzy: a new interactive mascot who is expected to engage fans from all walks of life. Described by UEFA as a "larger-than-life character inspired by freestyling, street and panna culture", Skillzy was accompanied by two leading freestylers, Liv Cooke and Tobias Becs, ahead of the European Qualifier between the Netherlands and Germany. This was in reference to the campaign that the UEFA were holding in 2019 - the 'Your Move' talent competition which would unearth the most original and creative freestyle, street and panna football experts across Europe. It would then allow two local winners from each of the 12 host cities, the opportunity to be UEFA EURO 2020 freestylers, and take part in events throughout the final tournament; at matches, in fan zones and during the trophy tour. The UEFA believe that Skillzy is a reflection of younger fans' passion for other forms of football outside the traditional 11-a-side game. They also understood that intertwining the traditional previous mascot with a more modern, interactive figure would create the perfect result. We wanted to move away from the traditional mascot that we have seen at previous UEFA EUROs in order to create a symbol that is able to interact more closely with football fans across the continent, said Guy-Laurent Epstein, marketing director of UEFA Events SA. It is important that UEFA appeals to football fans of all ages, and by creating a mascot which is actually able to physically play the game we all love, this will inspire youngsters from Dublin to Baku to try and emulate the tricks that Skillzy, Liv Cooke and Tobias Becs are able to master.  Through Skillzy, the Board want to show that the Euros is very much inclusive to everyone, including the football fans of old and new. As the Euro 2020 mascot, Skillzy follows a proud tradition which has seen mascots present at the European Championship since Euro 1980 in Italy.
