A day before the opening ceremony of the EURO 2024 Finals, host country Germany is ready for Europe's biggest football festival.
Germany will begin their 28-year wait for the EURO title at the Allianz Arena in Munich, which will also host the opening ceremony of EURO 2024. Everything is now ready for the tournament.
The gate system was ready to welcome more than 70,000 spectators to the stadium to watch the opening match between Germany and Scotland. The weather before the match was quite cold and gloomy. The weather forecast for the opening night of the tournament was relatively cold, with the temperature when the ball rolled around only about 14 - 15 degrees Celsius.
Inside the stadium, preparations are also underway. Media areas, especially television, are being installed and tested. Thousands of reporters will be present to cover a major event that will be broadcast live to billions of viewers around the world on the night of June 14.
Work on the turf is also underway. The Allianz Arena, home to Bayern Munich, is used to hosting major European and international football matches, such as the 2006 World Cup and the Champions League.
Rehearsals for the opening ceremony have been going on for almost a week now at the Allianz Arena. Everything is ready for the opening ceremony and the opening match. The stadium will also host five other matches, including a semi-final in early July 2024.
