Fans are being given the chance to engage in a number of online and digital trophy tour activities, which are being organised by UEFA, its partners and the host cities and available on their respective social media channels.
This trophy tour is a predominantly digitally led activation because of ongoing restrictions, which have been implemented due to the COVID pandemic. Therefore, no onsite activities involving supporters are planned.
Iconic sites
A city tour will take place in the host cities, with the trophy being taken to the most iconic and famous sites, including the bridges used for the UEFA EURO 2020 city logos.
Last week, the trophy visited Rome, where it stopped off at the Colosseum and the Terrazza del Pincio and featured UEFA EURO 2000 finalist Demetrio Albertini. The trophy also stopped off in Bucharest on 25 April, along with ambassadors Dorinel Munteanu and Miodrag Belodedici, where it called in at Constitutiei Square, before ending its journey at the National Arena Stadium.
The trophy will now travel to the following cities:
30 April–1 May 2021: Budapest
7-8 May 2021: Baku
11 May 2021: Copenhagen
14-15 May 2021: Amsterdam

For this UEFA EURO 2020 Trophy Tour, Volkswagen has created a unique ID.3 model car, which will transport the trophy around the host cities. The trophy will be displayed in a glass showcase on its roof. Meanwhile, supporters will have the opportunity to take a video with the trophy and create their own personalised digital UEFA EURO 2020 experience, courtesy of TikTok.
