The 2024 UEFA European Championship, scheduled to take place in Germany, is the seventeenth edition of the UEFA European Football Championship. The tournament is managed by the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) and will be held from June 14, 2024, to July 14, 2024, in ten cities across Germany. The event will feature a total of 51 matches, including 36 group stage matches and 15 knockout stage matches.
On October 9, 2022, UEFA conducted the draw for the qualifying rounds of the 2024 European Championship in Frankfurt, Germany. Fifty-three teams were drawn into ten groups, competing for 23 qualification spots. Notably, the Netherlands, France, Ireland, and Greece are in Group B, while Italy, England, Ukraine, and North Macedonia make up Group C, forming a challenging group.
The emblem of the 2024 UEFA European Championship continues the design theme featuring the trophy "Henri Delaunay Cup," which was used in the 2016 and 2020 editions. The emblem incorporates the flags and colors of the 55 member associations of UEFA, with the outline inspired by the roof shape of the Berlin Olympic Stadium. Around the Henri Delaunay Cup, 24 colorful slices represent the 24 participating teams.
The tournament's mascot, introduced on June 20, 2023, at a school in Gelsenkirchen, is a teddy bear-inspired character paying homage to teddy bear toys. Named Albert, the mascot was officially chosen by fans through a vote on July 5, 2023, according to UEFA's announcement.
