GERMANY
EURO 2024
The 2024 UEFA European Football Championship, commonly referred to as UEFA EURO 2024) or simply Euro 2024, will be the 17th edition of the UEFA European Championship, the quadrennial international football championship organised by UEFA for the men's national teams of its member associations. Germany will host the tournament, which is scheduled to take place from 14 June to 14 July 2024 and the winner will later compete in the 2025 CONMEBOL–UEFA Cup of Champions against the 2024 Copa América winner.
It will be the third time that European Championship matches are played on German territory and the second time in reunified Germany, as the former West Germany hosted the tournament of 1988, and four matches of the multi-national Euro 2020 were played in Munich. It will be the first time the competition is held in what was formerly East Germany with Leipzig as a host city, as well as the first time that a reunified Germany serves as a solo host nation. The tournament will return to its usual four-year cycle, after the 2020 edition was postponed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Topps replace Panini as sticker album producers for European Championship from 2024
Topps have replaced Panini as the official producers of sticker albums for the European Championship. The American owed company announced that they had agreed a deal with UEFA to become an official licensed partner of men’s Euro 2024, which will be hosted by Germany. Panini's 47-year dominance in holding the rights for the official European Football Championship sticker book came to an end when rival Topps won the contract for 2024 and 2028.
This has left some fans irate and less than impressed as Topps' complicated contract means the American firm does not have the rights for five of the teams to show them in their kit - including England - nor for some individual players.
Despite losing out in the sticker book contract battle, Italian company Panini is not going down lightly and it has produced a 'tournament edition' featuring England, Spain, Germany, France, and Italy.

UEFA EURO 2024 GERMANY
Unknown series of cards.
Clearly produced to cash in on the card craze, no thought what-so-ever has gone into which tournament card Kudus should be displayed on.
For the record Mohammed Kudus is a full international and plays for Ghana and therefore NOT a European player.
