13,000 personalized kits, 450 references, 120 tons of goods, and 10 stadiums as delivery locations: these are the challenges currently being faced by the GEODIS Distribution & Express teams, as they work to prepare and deliver kits for the referees and volunteers of the Euro 2016 European Football Championship, which begins on June 10.
Even earlier, GEODIS transported and installed Super Victor at the headquarters of the French Football Federation—the 1.90m tall, 70kg mascot of Euro 2016. The company was also responsible for transporting the machine used for the official draw.
Since March 29, 750 pallets of equipment and materials provided by the official sponsor of Euro 2016 have arrived at a warehouse near Paris, which is entirely dedicated to supporting the Championship. At that time, a specially appointed team began work on preparing the kits. All referees, as well as 6,500 volunteers, will be equipped with sports bags containing a full uniform for the duration of the Championship, personalized according to individual clothing and footwear sizes. These prepared bags will be delivered by May 31 to the match venues, i.e., 10 stadiums across France. This task is being handled by a team of 10 GEODIS drivers, dedicated exclusively to supporting the Championship and accredited by UEFA, who will be traveling on French roads throughout the duration of Euro 2016.
