Gaining enormous popularity in recent years, Lewandowski has become a household name among European football fans. With this game, he takes his established digital presence to a new level, inviting millions of supporters to share in his training before the upcoming tournament.

"I am thrilled to feature in a game that will add to the experience of the Euros. At every warm-up, we do hundreds of keepie-uppies, developing ball control skills that give us the decisive edge on the pitch. I hope the fans will enjoy the game," he said.

By helping Robert learn new tricks to show off spectacular combos, players earn performance points which can be used to choose the perfect gear for the star. Everyone can personalise the game experience as they wish with dozens of jerseys, boots, balls, hats, and locations (including Paris's iconic Eiffel Tower) available from the store.

With scores being compared online in real-time, football fans can challenge their friends via Facebook to revive their keepie-uppie competition from offline five-a-side football games or compete with players from all over the world - with top-scorers up for a chance to win gadgets signed by Lewandowski himself.
