Slavek and Slavko

Do you know these two guys? They are the official mascots of Euro 2012.

They were introduced to the public in November, 2010 but their names were just finalized in 2012. The UEFA asked the fans to vote and the best pair of names were Slavek and Slavko. The other options were Siemko, Strimko and Klemek, Ladko. I think the best one won.

'I'm sure, that children will love them very much.' - said Andriy Shevchenko the Ukrainian legend

'They represent the effort and the enthusiasm of the two host nations.' - Hrihorij Szurkisz, the president of Football Federation of Ukraine

If you want to meat them, you'll have to look around the stadiums and fan-zones of Poland and Ukraine.

Beginning of a beautiful friendship:
