The Euro Championship, renowned as one of the most exhilarating tournaments in football, is poised to captivate fans across the continent and beyond when it kicks off on June 14.
The opening match will see hosts Germany take on Scotland at the iconic Allianz Arena in Munich.
Germany, with a storied history in the competition, are the holders of three European titles, triumphing in 1972 in Belgium, in 1980 in Italy, and in 1996 in England.
While West Germany hosted the tournament in 1988, this year’s event marks the first time a reunified Germany will stage the European Championship.
The group stage is set to run until June 26, with the knockout stage beginning on June 29. The grand finale will be held on July 14 at the Olympiastadion in Berlin, promising to be a fitting climax to a month of top-tier football.
As the tournament returns to German soil, questions abound: Can Germany leverage the home advantage to secure another title?
Success as hosts would see them join the elite ranks of Spain (1964), Italy (1968), and France (1984), who all won the Euros on home turf.
With anticipation reaching fever pitch, fans are gearing up for a festival of football that promises unforgettable moments and high-stakes drama.
