Fue la tercera vez que los partidos de la Eurocopa se jugaron en territorio alemán, y la segunda vez en la Alemania reunificada , ya que Alemania Occidental fue sede del torneo de 1988 , y cuatro partidos de la Eurocopa multinacional 2020 se jugaron en Múnich . Fue la primera vez que la competencia se celebró en lo que antes era Alemania del Este , con Leipzig como ciudad anfitriona, así como el primer torneo importante desde la Copa Mundial de la FIFA 2006 en el que Alemania sirvió como nación anfitriona en solitario. [1] [2] El torneo regresó a su ciclo habitual de cuatro años después de que la edición de 2020 se pospusiera a 2021 debido a la pandemia de COVID-19 .
Italia fue el campeón defensor, tras haber ganado la final de 2020 contra Inglaterra en los penaltis , [3] pero no pudo defender el título tras ser eliminada por Suiza en los octavos de final . [4] La nación anfitriona, Alemania, fue eliminada por España en los cuartos de final; España ganó el torneo por cuarta vez, un récord, tras derrotar a Inglaterra por 2-1 en la final . [5]
El 8 de marzo de 2017, la UEFA anunció que dos países, Alemania y Turquía, habían anunciado sus intenciones de albergar el torneo antes de la fecha límite del 3 de marzo de 2017. [6] [7]
El anfitrión fue elegido por el Comité Ejecutivo de la UEFA en una votación confidencial, [8] [9] necesitando solo una mayoría simple de votos para ganar. Si los votos eran iguales, la decisión final recaía en el presidente de la UEFA, Aleksander Čeferin . [10] [11] De los 20 miembros del Comité Ejecutivo de la UEFA , Reinhard Grindel (Alemania) y Servet Yardımcı (Turquía) no pudieron votar porque no eran elegibles. Lars-Christer Olsson (Suecia) también estuvo ausente debido a una enfermedad. En total, 17 miembros pudieron votar. [12] [13]
El anfitrión fue seleccionado el 27 de septiembre de 2018 en Nyon , Suiza. [2] [12] [14] [15] Alemania inicialmente planeó albergar completamente la Eurocopa 2020, aunque no había anunciado ningún interés firme hasta mayo de 2012. [16]
Lugares
Alemania contaba con una amplia variedad de estadios que cumplían con el requisito de capacidad mínima de la UEFA de 30.000 asientos para los partidos de la Eurocopa. [17] El Olympiastadion de Berlín fue el estadio más grande de la Eurocopa 2024. El estadio albergó la final del torneo, así como tres partidos de la fase de grupos, un partido de octavos de final y un partido de cuartos de final.
Varios otros estadios, como los de Bremen y Mönchengladbach , no fueron seleccionados. [21] La zona con el mayor número de sedes en la Eurocopa 2024 fue la región metropolitana del Rin-Ruhr en el estado de Renania del Norte-Westfalia , con cuatro de las diez ciudades anfitrionas (Dortmund, Düsseldorf, Gelsenkirchen y Colonia). [22]
Los nombres que se presentan a continuación son los otorgados por la UEFA a cada estadio durante el torneo. Entre paréntesis se muestra el nombre comercial de cada uno de ellos (si lo hubiera).
Campamentos base del equipo
Cada equipo eligió un "campamento base del equipo" para su estancia entre los partidos. Los equipos entrenaron y residieron en estos lugares durante todo el torneo, viajando a los partidos que se disputaban fuera de sus bases. El "campamento base del equipo" tenía que estar en Alemania. [33]
Venta de entradas
Las entradas para los estadios fueron vendidas directamente por la UEFA a través de su sitio web, o distribuidas por las asociaciones de fútbol de los 24 finalistas. La venta de entradas comenzó el 3 de octubre de 2023. Más del 80% de los 2,7 millones de entradas para los 51 partidos del torneo estaban disponibles para los aficionados de los equipos participantes y el público en general. [57] Los aficionados de cada equipo participante asignaron 10.000 entradas para los partidos de la fase de grupos, 6.000 entradas para los octavos de final y cuartos de final, 7.000 para las semifinales y 10.000 para el partido final. Se recibieron más de 50 millones de solicitudes de 206 países. Además de los aficionados de Alemania, la mayoría de las entradas fueron solicitadas por los aficionados que apoyaban a Turquía, Hungría, Inglaterra, Albania y Croacia. [58] Los precios oscilaron entre 30 € (por un asiento detrás de la portería en un partido de grupo) y 1000 € (por un asiento en la tribuna principal en la final). [59]
Calificación
Equipo clasificado para la Eurocopa 2024
El equipo no logró clasificarse
Al equipo se le prohibió participar en la competición.
Como anfitriona, Alemania se clasificó para el torneo automáticamente. Los 23 lugares restantes se determinaron mediante un torneo clasificatorio ; 20 lugares se decidieron por la clasificación directa de los ganadores y subcampeones de los 10 grupos clasificatorios, y los tres lugares restantes se decidieron por play-offs . [60] Los lugares en los play-offs se otorgaron a los equipos que obtuvieron el mejor desempeño en la Liga de Naciones de la UEFA 2022-23 que no se clasificaron ya a través del torneo clasificatorio principal. [61] El sorteo de la fase de grupos de clasificación para la Eurocopa 2024 de la UEFA se celebró el 9 de octubre de 2022 en el Festhalle de Fráncfort . [62] [63] La fase de grupos de clasificación se llevó a cabo de marzo a noviembre de 2023, mientras que los tres play-offs se llevaron a cabo en marzo de 2024. [64]
Equipos calificados
De los 24 equipos que se clasificaron para el torneo, 19 habían participado en la edición anterior. Entre ellos se encuentran el actual campeón, Italia, y el subcampeón, Inglaterra , así como el subcampeón de la Copa Mundial de 2022, Francia , y el medallista de bronce, Croacia . Portugal fue el único equipo que se clasificó con un récord impecable, mientras que Francia, Inglaterra, Bélgica , Hungría y Rumanía también se clasificaron sin ninguna derrota. [65]
Entre las ausencias notables se encuentran Suecia , Rusia y Gales . Suecia no logró alcanzar la final por primera vez desde la Eurocopa de 1996 y tampoco logró clasificarse para su segundo gran torneo consecutivo, tras perderse la Copa del Mundo de 2022. Rusia, que era habitual en las finales desde la Eurocopa de 2000 , fue excluida de las eliminatorias por completo tras la invasión del país a Ucrania , la primera vez que un equipo nacional había sido excluido de la competición desde la República Federativa de Yugoslavia en 1992. Gales, que alcanzó las etapas eliminatorias en las dos ediciones anteriores, incluidas las semifinales de la Eurocopa de 2016 , perdió ante Polonia en los penaltis en los play-offs. Habiendo debutado en la edición anterior, tanto Macedonia del Norte como Finlandia no lograron clasificarse para esta edición.

Descalificación de Rusia
En una reunión del Comité Ejecutivo de la UEFA en Hvar , Croacia, el 20 de septiembre de 2022, se confirmó que Rusia quedaría excluida de la clasificación para la Eurocopa 2024, reafirmando la suspensión de todos los equipos rusos tras la invasión de Ucrania por parte del país en febrero de 2022 y haciendo de esta la primera final de la Eurocopa que Rusia se perdería desde 2000.

Fase de grupos
Resultados de los equipos participantes en la Eurocopa 2024
La UEFA anunció el calendario del torneo el 10 de mayo de 2022, que incluía los horarios de inicio solo para el partido inaugural, las semifinales y la final. [87] [88] Los horarios de inicio de todos los demás partidos se anunciaron el 2 de diciembre de 2023 después del sorteo. [89] [90]
Los ganadores de cada grupo, los subcampeones y los cuatro mejores terceros clasificados avanzaron a los octavos de final.
Si dos o más equipos estaban empatados en puntos al finalizar los partidos del grupo, se aplicaron los siguientes criterios de desempate: [78]
Mayor número de puntos obtenidos en los partidos disputados entre los equipos en cuestión;
Diferencia de goles superior resultante de los partidos disputados entre los equipos en cuestión;
Mayor número de goles marcados en los partidos disputados entre los equipos en cuestión;
Si después de haber aplicado los criterios 1 a 3 los equipos siguen teniendo el mismo ranking, los criterios 1 a 3 se aplicarán de nuevo exclusivamente a los partidos entre los equipos que siguen empatados para determinar su clasificación final. [a] Si este procedimiento no conduce a una decisión, se aplicarán los criterios 5 a 9;
Diferencia de goles superior en todos los partidos del grupo;
Mayor número de goles marcados en todos los partidos del grupo;
Si en la última jornada de la fase de grupos dos equipos que se enfrentan están empatados en puntos, diferencia de goles y goles marcados y luego empatan su partido, su clasificación se determinará mediante una tanda de penaltis . (Este criterio no se utiliza si más de dos equipos tienen el mismo número de puntos).
Total de puntos disciplinarios más bajo en todos los partidos del grupo (1 punto por una sola tarjeta amarilla, 3 puntos por una tarjeta roja independientemente de si fue una tarjeta roja directa o dos tarjetas amarillas, 4 puntos por una tarjeta amarilla seguida de una tarjeta roja directa);
^ En caso de empate a tres puntos, la aplicación de los tres primeros criterios sólo podrá desempatar uno de los equipos, quedando los otros dos empatados. En este caso, se reanudará el procedimiento de desempate, desde el principio, para los dos equipos que sigan empatados.
^ ab Empatados en el resultado directo (Eslovenia 1–1 Dinamarca), diferencia de goles global y goles totales marcados. Puntos disciplinarios : Dinamarca −6, Eslovenia −7. [103] [104]
Clasificación de los equipos que ocupan el tercer puesto
Fuente: Reglas de clasificación de la UEFA: 1) Puntos; 2) Diferencia de goles; 3) Goles marcados; 4) Victorias; 5) Total de puntos disciplinarios más bajos; 6) Clasificación general de los Clasificatorios Europeos (o sorteo, si el anfitrión Alemania hubiera participado en el desempate). [78] Notas:
En la fase eliminatoria, si el partido estaba empatado al final del tiempo reglamentario, se jugaba una prórroga (dos periodos de 15 minutos cada uno). Si el empate continuaba después de la prórroga, el partido se decidía mediante una tanda de penaltis . [78]
El equipo de observadores técnicos de la UEFA recibió el objetivo de nombrar un equipo con los mejores once jugadores del torneo. Seis jugadores de la selección española ganadora fueron nombrados en el equipo. [145]
Jugador del torneo
El premio al Jugador del Torneo fue entregado a Rodri , quien fue elegido por los observadores técnicos de la UEFA. [146]
El premio al Jugador Joven del Torneo, abierto a los jugadores nacidos el 1 de enero de 2002 o después, fue otorgado a Lamine Yamal , elegido por los observadores técnicos de la UEFA. [147]
Lamine Yamal – 13 de julio de 2007 (17 años) (2007-07-13)
Máximo goleador
A diferencia de ediciones anteriores, el premio al « Máximo goleador de Alipay », otorgado al máximo goleador del torneo, se podía compartir entre varios jugadores, mientras que en ediciones anteriores se utilizaban las asistencias y los minutos jugados como criterios de desempate. De esta forma, el premio se entregó a cada uno de los seis jugadores que marcaron tres goles en el torneo: Cody Gakpo , Harry Kane , Georges Mikautadze , Jamal Musiala , Dani Olmo e Ivan Schranz . [148]
El gol del torneo fue decidido por un panel de observadores técnicos de la UEFA. El 16 de julio de 2024, la UEFA anunció que el gol de semifinales del extremo español Lamine Yamal contra Francia había sido elegido como el mejor gol del torneo. [149]
El gol de los aficionados del torneo se decidió mediante votación en línea. Un total de 10 goles estuvieron en la lista de candidatos, elegidos por los observadores técnicos de la UEFA. El 20 de julio de 2024, después de una votación abierta en el sitio web oficial de la Eurocopa 2024, la UEFA anunció que el gol de la fase de grupos del defensa turco Mert Müldür contra Georgia había sido elegido como el gol de los aficionados del torneo. [151]
Un jugador fue suspendido automáticamente para el próximo partido por las siguientes infracciones: [78]
Recibir una tarjeta roja (las suspensiones por tarjeta roja podrían extenderse por infracciones graves)
Recibir dos tarjetas amarillas en dos partidos diferentes; [A] las tarjetas amarillas expiraron después de la finalización de los cuartos de final (las suspensiones por tarjetas amarillas no se trasladaron a ningún otro partido internacional futuro)
Los siguientes jugadores obtuvieron una suspensión durante el torneo: [152] [104] [153] [154] [155]
^ Como las tarjetas amarillas no se trasladan a la tanda de penaltis , los jugadores pueden recibir dos tarjetas amarillas en el mismo encuentro sin ser expulsados. Sin embargo, esto daría lugar a una suspensión por acumular dos tarjetas amarillas durante el torneo.
^ Daku recibió una suspensión de dos partidos, [157] y el segundo partido de la suspensión se cumplirá fuera del torneo.
^ Demiral recibió una suspensión de dos partidos, [159] y el segundo partido de la suspensión se cumplirá fuera del torneo.

After securing a record fourth title, Spain became the first European Championship winners to win all their group matches twice (having done so previously in 2008), with France (1984) and Italy (2021) the only other teams to have achieved this once. This statistic refers to the European Championship since 1980, with the inclusion of the group stage.[162]
Spain also became the first European team to win all seven matches at European championship without needing a penalty shoot-out.[163] France also won every match without needing a penalty shoot-out in 1984, albeit while playing only five matches.
Spain's 15 goals broke the record for most goals scored by a team at a single European Championship. The record was previously held by France, scoring 14 goals in 1984. Ten different players scored for Spain, another record.[162]
By taking charge of Germany's tournament opener against Scotland, Julian Nagelsmann became the youngest head coach to manage a match at the European Championship at the age of 36 years and 327 days, surpassing the previous record set in 2000 by Slovenia coach Srečko Katanec by six days.[162]
Lamine Yamal became the youngest player to play at a UEFA European Championship aged 16 years and 338 days old, after featuring for Spain in their opening match against Croatia. The previous youngest player was Poland's Kacper Kozłowski, aged 17 years and 246 days in 2021.[164]
With his goal in Spain's semi-final against France, Yamal then became the youngest goalscorer in the history of the European Championship, aged 16 years and 362 days. The previous youngest was Switzerland's Johan Vonlanthen, aged 18 years and 141 days in 2004, also against France.[165]
Yamal's appearance in the final, one day after his 17th birthday, also made him the youngest player to both appear in and also win a UEFA European Championship final.[166] Previously, the youngest player to both appear in and also win a UEFA European Championship final was Portugal's Renato Sanches, in 2016, aged 18 years and 328 days.
Nedim Bajrami set the record for fastest goal scored in European Championship history, scoring in Albania's opener against Italy after just 23 seconds. This shattered the previous record of 67 seconds, set by Russia's Dmitri Kirichenko in 2004. Kirichenko's goal was then pushed into third place following Merih Demiral's goal for Turkey against Austria in the round of 16, coming after only 58 seconds. The fourth-fastest goal was also recorded, when Youri Tielemans scored for Belgium against Romania after only 74 seconds.[167]
Portugal's Pepe became the oldest player to make an appearance at the European Championship, aged 41 years and 130 days in his side's quarter-final match against France. Hungary goalkeeper Gabor Király, the previous record holder, was aged 40 years and 86 days when he faced Belgium in the round of 16 in 2016. Before Pepe, the oldest outfield player was Lothar Matthäus, who won his 150th and final cap for Germany aged 39 years and 91 days in 2000.[168]
Cristiano Ronaldo extended his own record for the most tournaments featured in, appearing in his sixth European Championship.[169]
Luka Modrić became the oldest player to score a goal at the European Championship, aged 38 years and 289 days in Croatia's group stage match against Italy. The previous record was held by Austria's Ivica Vastić, who was 38 years and 257 days old when he scored against Poland in 2008.[170]
Kevin Csoboth set the record for the latest regulation time goal in tournament history, scoring for Hungary against Scotland in the 10th minute after the 90-minute mark.[171][172]
The final Group F game between Czech Republic and Turkey broke the record for the most number of cards shown in total in a single match. 19 cards (17 yellow and 2 red) were shown (Czech Republic receiving 7 of them and Turkey 12), surpassing the previous record of 10 shown in the Euro 2016 final between Portugal and France.[173]
Portuguese goalkeeper Diogo Costa made three saves in the round of 16 penalty shoot-out against Slovenia, breaking the European Championship record for most saves in one penalty shoot-out, while Slovenia became the first team in tournament history to miss all of their penalties.[174][175]

Branding
The official logo was unveiled on 5 October 2021, during a ceremony at the Olympiastadion in Berlin. The logo depicted the Henri Delaunay Trophy with 24 coloured slices around the trophy representing the 24 participating nations, and the ellipse reflected the shape of the Olympiastadion.[176] In addition, each of the ten host cities had their own unique logo, featuring the following local sights:[177]
The official slogan of the tournament was "United by Football. Vereint im Herzen Europas (English: United in the heart of Europe)." The slogan was chosen to promote diversity and inclusion.[178]
Merchandise
In November 2023, it was announced that EA Sports had picked up the rights for the UEFA Euro 2024 video game, and that the Euro 2024 downloadable update would be coming to EA Sports FC 24, EA Sports FC Mobile, and EA Sports FC Online in the summer of 2024.[179] Released on 11 June, the update featured a full tournament mode, local and online friendlies, and a Euro-themed single player career mode, called "Lead Your Nation", each including all of the teams, players, and tournament venues.[180][181]
From Euro 2024, Fanatics would be controlling the e-commerce, event retail and licensing of UEFA National Team competitions until Euro 2028.[182]
Topps, also owned by Fanatics, was the official sticker and trading card partner of the tournament, marking the end of Panini's association with UEFA which began in 1976. Stickers were produced for all the Euro 2024 teams, including the teams that did not qualify for the qualifying play-offs. These stickers could be sold, collected or traded.[183]
Official song
In December 2023, Italian DJ group Meduza, American pop rock band OneRepublic and German singer Kim Petras were all announced as the official music artists of the tournament.[184] However, in March 2024, it was announced that Petras had withdrawn from production due to scheduling issues, and was replaced by German singer Leony.[185] The official song, "Fire", was released on 10 May 2024.[186] It was performed live by the three music artists at the tournament's closing ceremony before the final on 14 July 2024.[187]
Broadcasting rights
The International Broadcast Centre (IBC) was located at the halls of the Leipzig Trade Fair in Leipzig, Germany.[188]
Unlike the previous two tournaments, UEFA discontinued 4K ultra-high-definition broadcasts due to technical constraints, and amid lukewarm interest in the format among European broadcasters in comparison to high-dynamic-range (HDR) color.[189]
Sponsorship
UEFA used virtual advertising for the first time in the history of Euros, having three different types of sponsorship besides the Global sponsors, one pack for Germany, one for the United States and another for the Chinese market.[190]
The official UEFA Euro 2024 mascot was unveiled on 20 June 2023 at the Germany vs Colombia international friendly in Gelsenkirchen.[210] The mascot was a teddy bear with shorts on.[211] A public vote was used to select the name of the mascot, with options being "Albärt", "Bärnardo", "Bärnheart" and "Herzi von Bär", all referencing the German word for bear (Bär).[212] Results were made public on 5 July, with the mascot's name announced to be "Albärt", getting 32% of the votes.[213]
Unofficially the event even has an animal oracle following in the footsteps of Paul the Octopus: Bubi the Elephant, who "predicted" Germany's opening round against Scotland with her initial kick through a makeshift goal.[214]
Match ball
Official replica-version of the match ball "Fussballliebe".
The official match ball of the tournament, "Fussballliebe", was unveiled by UEFA and Adidas on 15 November 2023.[215] Translated from the German as "football love", it featured black wing shapes with red, blue, orange and green edges and curves to showcase the qualified nations' vibrancy to the tournament, and the love that fans around the world give to football. Created with sustainable organic materials,[215] this was the first ball for a UEFA Euro to feature "Connected Ball Technology", where it contained internal electronic sensors, allowing detection of its movement for UEFA match officials to use to assist in decision-making.[216]
Controversies and incidents
Pitch invasions, thrown projectiles, and other interference
The Group F match between Turkey and Portugal was interrupted four times by pitch invaders trying to take a selfie with Cristiano Ronaldo. Two others invaded the pitch right after the final whistle. Additional pitch invasions happened during the game between Albania and Italy, one during the game between Romania and Ukraine, and one during the round of 16 game between Romania and the Netherlands. During another pitch invasion after the semi-final between Spain and France, a security guard chasing the invader accidentally slid into Spanish striker Álvaro Morata, who suffered an injury as a consequence.[217][218][219][220][221][222]
Several players and managers complained about fans throwing reusableplastic cups on the pitch, on occasion hitting players, particularly when taking a corner kick.[223] Other objects were thrown as well,[224] and Kevin De Bruyne had a laser pointer shone in his eye in one match.[225][226][227][228]
Barnabás Varga injury
During the second half of the Group A fixture between Scotland and Hungary, Hungarian striker Barnabás Varga was left unconscious after a collision with Scottish goalkeeper Angus Gunn, landing in a fencing response. It was later revealed that Varga had suffered from a concussion and sustained multiple fracturedcheekbones.[229] Rapidly following the incident, medics made their way toward the scene and protective sheets were held around Varga. However, the stretcher bearers were seen walking toward the player, rather than running, prompting dismay from players, fans, and staff alike. Hungary captain Dominik Szoboszlai and fellow player Endre Botka proceeded to run with the stretcher in an attempt to speed up the process.[230] Following the injury, the captain expressed his frustration, stating that the medical staff did not react quick enough, with hopes that "everyone can save a few seconds and save a life." This was rebutted by UEFA, who claimed that the coordination between the on-site medical staff was "professional", with "no delay in the treatment of and assistance to the player."[231]
The match was resumed after 10 minutes, as Hungary went on to win by a score of 0–1 following a stoppage time goal from Kevin Csoboth, with Varga making a full recovery after undergoing surgery.[232]
Balkan incidents
During the group stage, several controversies came up due to the behaviour of various Balkan fans and players. Albania and Serbia were both fined €10,000 after their fans displayed irredentist symbols; Serbian fans displayed maps of Kosovo as being a part of Serbia while Albanian fans displayed maps of Greater Albania. Serbia threatened to quit the tournament if UEFA did not take action against Croatia and Albania after some of their fans chanted anti-Serbian slogans during the match, such as Ubij ubij ubij Srbina ("Kill kill kill the Serb"); an investigation was later launched into Croatia.[233] After the group stage game between Albania and Croatia, Mirlind Daku led the Albanian supporters in chanting anti-Macedonian and anti-Serbian slogans, and Albania was fined €47,250 and Daku was banned for two games. Kosovar journalist Arlind Sadiku was banned after making the crossed hands gesture towards Serbian fans during the Serbia and England game.[233]
Merih Demiral celebration
In the Austria vs Turkey match on 2 July 2024, Turkish player Merih Demiral celebrated his second goal of the match with a wolf salute. The gesture is seen as ultra-nationalist due to its connection with far-right extremist group Grey Wolves and is banned in Austria, as well as France.[234] The celebration was criticised by German interior ministerNancy Faeser, while Nationalist Movement Party president Devlet Bahçeli shared his support for the celebration.[235] Demiral also posted a photo on his Twitter account of him performing the celebration along with the caption of: "How happy is the one who says I am a Turk!". UEFA opened an investigation on Demiral the following day[236] before later handing him a two-match ban, meaning he would miss Turkey's quarter-final match against the Netherlands, as well as their first 2024–25 UEFA Nations League match as they were eliminated in the quarter-finals.[237] Ahead of Turkey's following match against the Netherlands, Turkish supporters were seen making the controversial hand gesture en masse while on their way to the stadium as well as inside the stadium.[238][239][240] UEFA's ban on Demiral was criticised by some Turkish media outlets as hypocritical and of double standard by drawing comparisons with the lighter penalty received by Jude Bellingham for offensive gesture made at the same tournament and with political gestures made by footballers of other nations which had gone unpunished in previous editions of the tournament.[241][242]
Top Coffee bombing
On 14 July 2024, Al-Shabaab bombed Top Coffee, where spectators were watching the Euro 2024 final between England and Spain.[243] The attack killed more than ten people and injured 20 others.[244]
