BERLIN: German organisers of the Euro 2024 tournament will breathe a sigh of relief after today’s final between Spain and England, having delivered an event without major issues but having failed to replicate the success of the 2006 World Cup on home soil.
The Euros have been Germany’s biggest international sports event since the 2006 World Cup which at the time triggered a massive wave of home enthusiasm, filled fan zones nationwide and has since become known as “the summer fairy tale”.
