Carlsberg recreates iconic moments from the Euros

Carlsberg has partnered with the F2 Freestylers in order to recreate iconic moments from previous Euros tournaments as part of their lead up to the tournament which starts June 10.

The beer brand will release 10 videos between today and the start of the tournament in which the freestylers Jeremy Lynch and Billy Wingrove will recreate 10 of the most iconic Euro moments from the past 40 years.

Attempting to draw on the nostalgia and the history of the tournament, the videos will create real-life replays of such goals and memorable moments from matches including France vs Portugal in 2000, Sweden vs England in 1992, Czech Republic vs Portugal in 1996 and Netherlands vs Soviet Union in 1988.

The first episode was released yesterday on Carlsberg Football and will also be sent out through its social channels. One half of the F2 Freestylers Billy Wingrove said that it took to recreate the moments to recognise just how memorable they were.

“The Euros always delivers great football moments and whilst the pro players make it look easy, recreating them touch for touch is anything but. It’s lucky that we love a challenge,” he said.

“We can’t wait to see what unbelievable moves come out of Euro 2016 so with these recreations we’re hoping to inspire fans around the world to enter Carlsberg’s competition and take their chance to create their own moment of football history on pitch at the Stade de Lyon.”

In addition to recreating the memorable moments, each episode will also offer fans the chance to win tickets to the semi final as well as the chance to play o the same pitch with legendary players from past Euro tournaments.
