With a year to go until UEFA EURO 2016 kicks off in France, the ten host cities are all planning events to mark the occasion, including treasure hunts in association with radio station France Bleu to find mascot Super Victor.

Twice a day, three clues about Super Victor's mystery location in a host city will be provided on France Bleu and on UEFA EURO 2016's Facebook and Twitter accounts. The first listener to find Super Victor and correctly answer a question posed by the mascot will win two tickets to the first UEFA EURO 2016 game in that host city.
