UEFA 2024 begins in two weeks, so you have probably started to see a lot of the Euro 2024 logo around. The vibrant design will be appearing everywhere from promotional pieces to TV graphics to shirt sleeves on the pitch.
First, we have the Henri Delaunay cup. Named after UEFA’s first general secretary, who promoted the idea of a European Championship, this is the trophy that's been received by the winning team since 1960. Those aren't random colours behind it. There are 24 of them, representing the 24 teams taking part in the tournament, and the colours themselves are taken from the flags of UEFA’s 55 member associations, a design decision that's also intended to promote diversity.
