Euro 2024: Latest News, Fixtures & Highlights for African Fans

Euro 2024 is finally here and the buzz is real across the continent. Whether you follow European clubs in your local league or cheer for players who left Africa for Europe, this tournament matters to us. Below you’ll find everything you need to stay on top of the action without scrolling through endless feeds.

Group Stage Schedule and Key Matches

The group stage kicks off on June 14 with thirty-two teams split into eight groups. Group A features hosts Germany, Spain, Scotland and Hungary – a mix of firepower and underdogs that will keep fans glued. In Group B, Italy meets France, Belgium and Poland, promising high‑scoring clashes.

If you’re rooting for African talent, watch England’s squad closely. Players like Bukayo Saka, Marcus Rashford and Jude Bellingham (born in London but of Ghanaian descent) could make a big impact. Spain’s lineup also includes several players with African roots – think of the versatile midfielders who grew up in the diaspora.

Key dates to mark: June 21 – Germany vs Spain, a possible classic; June 23 – Italy vs Belgium, where tactical battles shine; and June 25 – England takes on Switzerland, a match many African fans will watch for its pace.
