UEFA EURO 2024™: The week that was ⚽ Lidl has been on the ground again for week three of the UEFA EURO 2024 to see the eight teams make their way to the quarter finals! There has been plenty of action off the pitch, with an exclusive interview with a football legend (👀), Lidl employees experiencing the EUROs firsthand, and heaps of fans enjoying the Fan Zones. The Lidl Kids Team meet their football heroes 💛 This week, 176 Lidl Kids have followed the footsteps of the 792 who preceded them by stepping out onto the pitch to watch their heroes play. Football Legend, Philipp Lahm, shares a few words 🎙️ In our Lidl Magazine “FANZONE” for the UEFA EURO 2024, we interviewed the Football legend Philipp Lahm, Head of Organization for UEFA EURO 2024. He praises our commitment to provide sustainable and healthy options for fans during the tournament as we provide fresh fruit at the Lidl stands in the Fan Zones: “Healthy eating plays an important role in this triad of health, sport and education. It's great that Lidl is supporting UEFA with this campaign: as a result, this tournament leaves behind more than just beautiful goals.” During the interview, we also asked Philipp if he plans on visiting any Fan Zones. “Absolutely! That's what makes a tournament! I'm particularly looking forward to it. I won't reveal the time and place, it will be a surprise.” A first-hand perspective 🙋♀️ Sebastian, a lucky Lidl employee who won the opportunity to take his child Lorenz to the Turkey vs. Portugal game, shares his experience: “My son Lorenz couldn't sleep well at times because of the excitement, and we were really looking forward to the day. Grandma, grandpa, aunt, uncle, friends and even schoolmates sent me photos and short films of my Lorenz on TV, it really was an incredible feeling.” This week on the pitch ⚽ The last 16 certainly delivered on the pitch, with last minute equalizers, incredible saves, penalty drama and 19 goals!   Switzerland and Turkey delivered shock wins, over Italy and Austria respectively, while England needed a last gasp bicycle-kick to equalize against Slovakia, before winning in extra time.   Portugal saved a late penalty kick as they scrapped through on penalties. Germany, Spain, France, and the Netherlands all made it through, with regulation victories seeing them through into the quarter finals.   Today sees the start of the quarter finals, featuring heavyweight clashes Spain vs. Germany, and Portugal vs. France, as well as England vs. Switzerland and the Netherlands vs. Turkey.   What games are you watching tonight? 👇 #LidlInternational #OnYourTeam #EURO2024 #UEFAEURO #LidlKidsTeam #teamlidl
