It is a trophy which football fans up and down the country hope to see raised by English players come the end of this summer's European Championships.
But at an event in Ukraine yesterday, a group of women unexpectedly got their hands on the prestigious Euro 2012 trophy.
Topless activists from a Ukrainian women's rights group grabbed the cup by grabbing it while it was on public display in the southeast of the country, which is jointly hosting the tournament with Poland.

Inna Shevchenko, 21, an activist in the Femen group, peeled off her top, revealing the words 'F**k Euro 2012' on her torso.
She then grabbed hold of the 60cm-high cup while it was being exhibited in a central square in Dnipropetrovsk, according to a video clip released by Femen.
As security guards moved in on her, another activist, standing next to the cup, stripped off to the waist to display the same slogan.
