FRANKFURT, Germany — A German YouTuber says he made it onto the field during the European Championship opening ceremony while disguised in a mascot costume, in an incident which revealed flaws in tournament security.
Dancers perform during the opening ceremony ahead of the Group A match between Germany and Scotland at the Euro 2024 tournament in Munich.
UEFA said in a statement, “We can confirm that there was an incident with a fake mascot costume at the match in Munich … between Germany and Scotland. Three people have gained unauthorized access. Wildhage said he ordered his bear costume online from China for 3,200 euros and made his own fake tournament credentials by copying the design from photos posted on social media by Euro 2024 employees.
Wildhage said he was eventually detained by security after appearing at the opening ceremony, and he was held in a detention arena within the arena before being released long after Germany’s 5-1 win over Scotland finished.
