Mannschafts-WHOPPER®

Background

It was 20 years ago that Germany beat the Czech football team 2:1 at the legendary Wembley Stadium to become European football champions. As a supporter of Germany’s hopes of winning the title again, BURGER KING® has brought the winning spirit of 1996 into the year 2016. To do so, BURGER KING® acquired a section of the original Wembley turf used in Euro 1996 and grew lettuce, tomatoes and onions on it, to create the unique Mannschafts-WHOPPER® full of the energy of the famous winners’ pitch for true fans. The Mannschafts- WHOPPER® was made just 96 times! And a handful of lucky people was able to savour the limited- edition Mannschafts-WHOPPER® at an exclusive event that was held in Berlin on 21^st of June 2016. The event featured former national football player Thomas Helmer, who stood on the Wembley Stadium pitch for Germany in 1996, sports commentator Wolf-Dieter Poschmann and the well-known YouTube stars KSFreakWhatelse and KrappiWhatelse. BURGER KING® guests and fans won admission to the event and tried one of the 96 Mannschafts-WHOPPER® burgers.
