UEFA Euro 2024: What You Need to Know
Euro 2024 is heating up, and fans across Africa are glued to every kick‑off. Whether you’re a die‑hard supporter or just love a good goal, this guide gives you the basics, the buzz and the bits that matter most.
When and Where the Tournament Takes Place
The tournament runs from June 14 to July 14, 2024, across ten German cities. Berlin, Munich, Dortmund and Hamburg host the biggest games, while smaller venues like Leipzig and Stuttgart add local flavor. Kick‑off times are mostly in the evening African time, so you won’t have to stay up late to catch the action.
Teams, Stars and Match‑ups to Watch
Germany, as hosts, are looking to bounce back after a shaky last tournament. England brings a squad packed with Premier League talent, while Spain’s blend of experience and youth makes them a threat. France, with Kylian Mbappé leading the line, still carries the weight of expectations. Keep an eye on the classic rivalry England vs. Germany and the showdown between Spain and Italy – those games usually deliver fireworks.
Emerging sides are also stirring interest. Portugal’s new generation, led by João Félix, wants to prove they can replace Ronaldo’s era. Croatia, with Luka Modrić still pulling the strings, hopes for a deep run. And don’t discount the underdogs – teams like Denmark and Switzerland can surprise on a good day.
Player stories add another layer. Mbappé’s pace, Haaland’s finishing (if he’s still with Norway for the tournament), and Germany’s Leroy Sané returning from injury are talking points that dominate social media. Fans love to track who scores the first goal of the tournament – it’s a badge of honor that sticks for the whole competition.
