The Euro 2024 tournament is well underway, delivering exciting matches and unexpected outcomes. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the Euro schedule, including group standings, match results, and a look ahead at the knockout stage. We’ll keep this updated as the tournament progresses, so you won’t miss a beat.
Euro 2024 Group Stage Overview
