The name of the mascot of the Rome 2024 European Athletics Championships, inspired by the history of the Eternal City, will be chosen by athletics fans.
On the official social media channels of the event, starting today, proposals will be collected. To participate, users will have to write their suggestions for the name of the mascot in the comments under posts published on the event’s official social channels. The contest will open on Thursday, February 22 on Instagram and X Roma 2024 channels, and will last for 24 hours. The name most voted by participants will become the official name of the mascot of the event scheduled for June 7-12 at the Olympic Stadium and Foro Italico Park.
In the coming days the mascot will be presented to the public and the city will begin to discover its features. The design recalls the Colosseum, the most famous monument of the Eternal City, ready to host the European Athletics Championships 50 years after the last edition held in 1974, while the colors are those of the event.
The Rome 2024 mascot loves being around people and will start showing up around the city, waiting to animate the six days of the European Championships in June. The mascot will interact with athletes on the competition field and entertain the public in the stands and in the Fan Village, which will be set up outside Olympic Stadium. But first she needs a name: help her to find it!
