Hungary kicked off their EURO 2024 campaign against Switzerland in a highly anticipated opener. The match showcased both teams deploying their top talents. Notably, Hungary’s midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai was handed the captain’s armband by coach Marco Rossi and featured prominently from the start.

Szoboszlai’s captaincy marks a historic moment in EURO tournaments. At just 23 years, 7 months, and 21 days old, representing Liverpool, he now holds the record as the youngest captain in EURO history. His journey began with Hungary when he was appointed captain in November 2022, already setting records at the age of 22. In this year’s EURO, Szoboszlai has once again left his mark, adding to his remarkable career achievements.

Euro 2024 kicked off with a resounding bang as Germany launched their campaign by dismantling Scotland with a 5-1 victory in Munich. The hosts delivered a masterclass in attacking football, with Florian Wirtz, Jamal Musiala, and Kai Havertz all finding the net in the first half, taking full advantage after Scotland went down to 10 men. Niclas Fullkrug and Emre Can continued Germany’s onslaught in the second half, though an unfortunate own goal from Antonio Rudiger was the only blip in their otherwise flawless performance.

Saturday’s lineup features a thrilling triple-header, starting with Hungary versus Switzerland in Group A, followed by the headline match between Spain and Croatia in Berlin. The day concludes with Italy facing off against Albania in Dortmund, where Albanian fans are expected to create a vibrant atmosphere with their enthusiastic support.

Meanwhile, England is meticulously preparing for their tournament opener against Serbia in Gelsenkirchen on Sunday night. Manager Gareth Southgate and his squad are determined to kick off their campaign on a high note, aiming to set the tone with a confident and impactful performance.

As Euro 2024 progresses, football fans across Europe are eagerly anticipating more exhilarating matches and memorable moments on the pitch.
