Reported 8 months ago
German influencer Marvin Wildhage disguised himself as the mascot Albärt during the opening match of the UEFA Euro last Friday at the Allianz Arena in Munich and uploaded a video on Youtube showing him dancing in a corner of the pitch. The UEFA officials eventually removed him. With over 890,000 fans on YouTube, the related video has already garnered 1.78 million views. The UEFA confirmed the incident and banned three individuals, including Wildhage, from entering the Euro 2024 venue. Wildhage spent €3,200 to order the mascot costume online from China and replicated the accreditation photos released by Euro 2024 staff on social media. Further investigation and necessary security measures have been taken by UEFA. This was not Wildhage's first attempt at exploiting security loopholes at sports events.
