PRESS RELEASE

Together with Coca-Cola in Sweden, the men's national football team is now launching the official Football Pizza. The pizza has been developed jointly by the players and contains, among other things, mozzarella and kebab meat. The official Football Pizza is available at over 500 pizzerias in Sweden in connection with the 2021 European Football Championships. The men's national team selections are presented by the players Robin Quaison and Victor Nilsson Lindelöf.

Pizza and Coca-Cola are an obvious choice for many when they gather at home on the sofas to cheer on the men's national team in the upcoming football European Championships. As a tribute to all the fans, the players have come together and together voted for the ingredients on the pizza. The finished recipe has since been developed and refined by national team chefs Mats Broström and Gustaf Sandfridsson.

- Pizza, Coca-Cola and football are things that touch and are loved by many. Combining the three and presenting the official Football Pizza feels fantastically fun and special. The men's national team has voted together on the various ingredients and I know it has created lively discussions. Pineapple, curry, banana, sauce or no sauce? Pizza toppings are touchy and everyone has an opinion. The football pizza together with a Coca-Cola is the perfect recharge when we cheer on the men in the EC, says Victoria Adolfsson, brand manager at Coca-Cola in Sweden.

The official Football Pizza, developed by the men's national football team, contains tomato sauce, kebab meat, fresh mushrooms, grated mozzarella, fresh tomatoes, yellow onion, pickled chilli or pepperoni and garlic sauce. In the vegetarian version, the kebab meat is replaced by kebab-seasoned oyster wedges. The pizza is best topped with a little arugula, coriander or mint and eaten with pizza salad.

- The football pizza is a fun project and the content is designed for long and lively discussions. How you eat your pizza, what type of pizza you prefer and perhaps above all - what you want on it, is very individual and almost only creativity sets limits to possible combinations. We hope that many football fans will like it and that they will have a good time at home on the sofas as they cheer on our men's national team throughout the EC, says Mats Broström, national team chef for the Swedish men's national football team.

The official Football Pizza is available from week 23 at over 500 pizzerias in Sweden. 44 pizzerias also have specially designed blue-yellow pizza boxes in which the pizza is delivered. Read more at www.coca-cola.se/fotbollspizzan.
