Germany are on host duty for Euro 2024 in a first for the country as a unified nation, having previously hosted as West Germany back in 1988.
Fans will travel to Germany from across Europe, hoping to see their team stake a claim for continental glory and make it all the way to the final at the Olympiastadion in Berlin on July 14.
Tournament organizers have been praised for their smooth handling of pre-competition planning, with 10 stadiums included on the Euro 2024 list, spread right across the country.
As part of a plan to bring matches to every corner of Germany, no city will be represented by more than one stadium, with some of the most iconic arenas in European club football repurposed for Euro 2024.
