Hamburg Unveils Spectacular Container Installation for UEFA EURO 2024 Group Stage Draw

Yesterday evening marked the momentous occasion of the Final Draw for UEFA EURO 2024, held in the awe-inspiring setting of the Elbphilharmonie Concert Hall in the Port of Hamburg. In a unique event, 70 port workers used colourful nation containers to recreate the draw in a spectacular fashion.

The draw was represented by 25 containers, plus twelve reach stackers (container stackers), each weighing 70 tons. This led to the formation of six eye-catching container towers, that will remain at the O’Swaldkai terminal in Hamburg until 10 December 2023. This installation was made possible with the backing of Hamburg Marketing GmbH, executive support from UNIKAI Lagerei- und Speditionsgesellschaft mbH and LOTUS Containers GmbH.

Konstantin Muffert, from the Host City Hamburg Media Team, commented: “This was a unique event and a great way of linking the City of Hamburg with the tournament. We are delighted with the result and look forward to seeing the towers remain in place until December 10th.”
