Months in the making and a stage for the taking, the Nike 'Winner Stays' tournament reached its finale over the weekend with F.C. Amsterdam heading home with the spoils.
With Nike FootballX running riot, rain was nothing but mere detail as this collective of crews from eleven different countries took to a courted game at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris which, for EURO 2016 has been transformed into Nike's 'Palais of Speed'.
A home for the fast flowing game, the pace was unrivalled as talent was given the platform to play out and flourish. A backdrop of royal champions, there's few footballing settings that could dominate with such force. As Pauleta handed over the trophy, match winners gathered. A styled out game that has taken the streets by force, Nike have moved the small sided game into fresh spaces.
