In order to celebrate the UEFA Euro 2016 championships, [adidas Canada](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-kit-collection) has opened an [immersive viewing lounge](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knix-popup) where Toronto fans can watch different matches throughout the tournament. Boasting a luxurious screening room where fans can catch the games and a number of exhibits showcasing the game kits of several adidas-sponsored footballers, the pop-up will remain open for the duration of the Euro 2016 championships and is a great way for the brand to interact directly with consumers.

'The Base' is located in Toronto's Little Italy neighborhood near College and Bathurst and includes in its display the new [Mercury Pack](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/primo-aperitivo) cleats. The entire soccer pop-up spans an impressive 2,200-square-feet and is a great place for fans of the sport and brand to kick back and enjoy the tournament.
