Details

Benelucky was the official mascot of the European Championship 2000 that was held in the Netherlands and Belgium. The name Benelucky is a pun on Benelux, and is also a contraction of the Latin word 'bene' and the English 'lucky', together referred to as 'good luck'. Benelucky has the head and mane of a lion and the horns and tail of a devil, referring to the Dutch lion and the Red Devils. The mascot's moons contain the colors of both flags.
