“FedEx will provide the speed and accuracy needed for this multi-country tournament set-up and showcase the power of our air and road network,” David Canavan, Regional Chief Operating Officer Europe says. “The pandemic may have delayed the competition, but it has increased our enthusiasm and anticipation to connect with fans across the globe. We have been preparing for over a year to celebrate this tournament and we’re ready for kick-off.”
From transporting national team equipment to dispatching official UEFA materials like match balls, tickets, uniforms, stage material, and other items needed for the tournament, a dedicated team of over 260 skilled logistics personnel is set to demonstrate the company’s expertise and deliver over 1,520 tonnes of goods within Europe and beyond.
To deliver the UEFA EURO 2020 tournament, FedEx will use its FedEx International Priority and FedEx International Economy services, as well as bespoke solutions for pickup and delivery, warehousing, and onsite support staff.
