The "Women's Euro 2022" experience on Roblox by UEFA is a comprehensive virtual endeavor aimed at engaging young audiences for the UEFA Women’s Euro tournament of 2022.
Three mascots named Kai (number 4), Robyn (number 10), and Ashley (number 7) are introduced. They will be interactive characters in a game called "The Road to UEFA Women's Euro" and also feature in a skills challenge and edutainment series on YouTube alongside some of Europe's top football players.
In an educational YouTube series, 12 real football players including stars like Alexia Putellas, Vivianne Miedema, and Lucy Bronze will interact with the mascots to educate young audiences about football skills and other related topics.
The video series will be accessible to children, parents, and teachers, and will also be shared with schools across Europe via UEFA’s Football in Schools programme.
