European Football Championship

Quiz: How much do you know about the Euros?

This year’s tournament is well underway in Germany.

THE EURO 2024 tournament is well underway in Germany.

The championship kicked off last weekend, when the host country thumped Scotland 5-1 in the opening game.

Some of the twenty four teams have already qualified for the knockout stage, which will start on 29 June. All will be hoping to get to the final in Berlin on 14 July.
