Paris city hall, hip hop cultural centre La Place and UEFA are joining together to bring the quest to find the All-time EURO 11 to a dramatic conclusion.
Fans have just a few days to select their team of all-time competition greats by visiting all-time11.uefa.com, with a massive artistic project planned following the unveiling of the selection at a press conference ahead of the finals.
A team of 11 internationally renowned graffiti artists selected by La Place will immortalise the 11 players in spray paint, with the pictures to be shown in the French capital.
"This historic project bringing the worlds of football and graffiti together is unique in terms of its scale," said Bruno Julliard, deputy mayor of Paris.
"This initiative is the perfect illustration of how art and sport combine," added EURO 2016 SAS president Jacques Lambert. "EURO 2016 SAS is delighted to be able to share this project with the world."
