The as-yet-unnamed teddy bear also has a soccer jersey, socks and boots. Fans were to help name it by choosing between Albart, Barnardo, Barnheart or Herzi von Bar. “Bar” is the German word for bear. “As a parent, I know how important it is to stimulate children’s imagination,” Euro 2024 tournament director Philipp Lahm said. “With the launch of our tournament mascot, we hope to create a fun and likeable character that will inspire them to enjoy playing football.”
The mascot is due to appear in host cities over the next year. Germany will host the tournament from June 14-July 14, 2024.
