GLASGOW Euro 2018 mascot Bonnie the Seal gave her German counterpart a tour of the city as the pair celebrated a new sponsorship deal.

SPAR International has become the latest sponsor for the showpiece championships, which are taking place from August 2-12, involving 52 nations, and are being jointly hosted by Berlin.

Bonnie met up with Berlino the Bear, the German mascot at a local Spar store in the city’s East End. The cheeky duo first met in Berlin last month when Bonnie had a tour of the city but this is their first time together in Glasgow.

The multi-sport event will see Glasgow and Scotland host 12 sports including diving, synchronised swimming, mountain biking and gymnastics across 12 venues in partnership with the city of Berlin which will host the Athletics.

With 52 nations taking part, Glasgow 2018 will be a must watch, must attend summer of sport and culture that elevates the status of European Champions.

Glasgow City Council Depute Leader, Councillor David McDonald added:“I’m delighted to see a big European brand with a long-standing commitment to sport backing the first ever European Championships.

“Over eleven days, Glasgow 2018 will highlight our city’s top class sport and culture, featuring amazing athletes and artists in fantastic venues.”

Tobias Wasmuht, SPAR International Managing Director said:“We are delighted to sponsor the joint European Championships in Glasgow and Berlin and wish all the competitors well.”
