Alghero, Italy
June 8, 2016 – UEFA Euro 2016 fever hit the service park at #rally Italia #sardegna this afternoon as #hyundai Motorsport played host to a special table football tournament ahead of this weekend's #rally, round 6 of the 2016 FIA World #rally Championship (WRC).
Many of the WRC's drivers joined #hyundai Motorsport's four competing drivers in a friendly match using an inflatable, life-size table football pitch outside the team's hospitality unit in Alghero.
The fun #event was held in celebration of Hyundai's sponsorship of the UEFA Euro 2016 #event, which gets underway in France this Friday. There is plenty of #wrc interest in Euro 2016 with eight of the participating countries also hosting a round of this year's Championship - France, Sweden, Portugal, Italy, Poland, Germany, Spain and Wales.
#hyundai Motorsport's drivers led by #thierryneuville, #danisordo, #haydenpaddon and #kevinabbring, were joined by Sébastien Ogier, Jari-Matti Latvala, Andreas Mikkelsen, Mads Østberg, Eric Camilli, Ott Tanak, Martin Prokop and Henning Solberg in a match refereed by #wrc Live's reporter Colin Clark.
A full selection of photos from the #event will be available in our media website later this evening.
