EURO 2024: What You Need to Know Right Now

If you’re wondering when the big games kick off, where to catch them and which African stars are making a mark, you’ve come to the right spot. EURO 2024 is set to light up stadiums across Germany from June 14 to July 14, and we’ll break down everything you need without any fluff.

Key Dates, Venues and How to Watch in Africa

The tournament opens with the host nation Germany taking on Scotland at Berlin’s Olympiastadion. After that, matches spread across ten cities – from Munich’s Allianz Arena to Hamburg’s Volksparkstadion. All games will be streamed live on the official UEFA platform, but many African broadcasters have secured rights. In South Africa, SuperSport shows every match; in Kenya and Nigeria, you can tune into Canal+ Afrique or StarTimes. If you’re on a mobile device, most of those services also offer apps that work on 4G/5G networks.

African Players to Watch

While Europe dominates the line‑up, a handful of African‑born talent will be in the spotlight. Samir Handanović’s nephew, Luka Jovic, now playing for a German side, could surprise with his goal sense. Meanwhile, Senegal’s star Sadio Mané is still on the radar for France’s midfield depth, and Ghana’s rising winger Thomas Partey is expected to get minutes with Belgium if they qualify through the play‑offs.

These players bring not only skill but also a chance for African fans to see their own represented on the biggest stage. Keep an eye on the team sheets before each match – last‑minute changes happen, and that’s where breakthroughs often occur.
