Today, 100 days before the start of the UEFA European Football Championship, the official mascot of UEFA Euro 2020, Skillzy set out on a walking tour in Baku with freestylers of the championship in Baku - veteran footballers Nugzar Kvirtiya and Kader Alimova. The adventures of Skillzy and his friends in the City of Winds were met with great interest by the residents of the capital.
The trip, which took place on a remarkable day, lent color to the capital. Skillzy and his friends started their tour from Nizami Street in the center of Baku. Then they went to Icheri Sheher (Old City), one of the historical places of the City of Winds and visited tourist attractions, such as Maiden Tower, Palace of the Shirvanshahs, Yanar Dag ("burning mountain"), as well as a number of museums.
The name of the mascot comes from the English word "skills". Skillzy was first presented on March 24, 2019 during the match between the teams of the Netherlands and Germany.
