In the sports city of Frankfurt, anticipation is rising for UEFA EURO 2024: One Year To Go! Only one year to go until the start of UEFA EURO 2024. In exactly 365 days, on June 14, 2024, the opening match will take place in Munich. To celebrate the countdown properly, the Sports Office in cooperation with UEFA EURO 2024 at the Hauptwache has built a Soccer Court for all Frankfurt.
The highlight of the event was the opportunity for soccer enthusiasts to compete against experienced goalkeepers and score a goal on the way to UEFA EURO 2024. Mayor Mike Josef also took up the challenge and joined stars Emre Can, national coach Hansi Flick, Kevin Trapp and Leroy Sané in scoring goals on the pitch.
In his welcoming speech to the participants and local citizens, the city leader emphasized the importance of UEFA EURO 2024 for Frankfurt am Main: "Euro 2024 is a great opportunity for us to present our city as a cosmopolitan host. It is good that the national team is in our city more often and that the players are tangible and close to the fans. This closeness is important for identification. We are also looking forward to a wonderful fan mile in the heart of our city next year for Euro 2024."
The volunteer program for UEFA EURO 2024 also started just in time for the date, offering soccer enthusiasts a unique opportunity to become part of the tournament themselves and experience it up close. From Wednesday, June 14, those interested can register at euro2024volunteers.com register.
