The 2024 UEFA Men's European Football Championship starts this evening in Munich - with the match between Germany and Scotland. This highly anticipated competition will take place from June 14 to July 14. Germany held a European championship back in 1988 - back then as a Federal Republic - now for the first time as a united country. The games are played in the cities of Berlin, Dortmund, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Gelsenkirchen, Hamburg, Cologne, Leipzig, Munich and Stuttgart. Almost 3 million spectators are expected in the stadiums alone. Millions more on public viewing and on television sets around the world. Football expert Edi Kainer reports on how Germany is preparing for the European Championships:
