No matter how you call it, soccer or football is one of the most popular sports across countries and continents — especially when it comes to exciting, storied championships such as the UEFA Euro, where some of the best national teams in the world compete every four years. This is the second-most watched tournament of its kind after the FIFA World Cup and the first match of the UEFA Euro 2024 kicks off in less than a month from now in Germany, where all 51 matches will be hosted. Hundreds of millions of people will be watching those matches, so millions of gamers would probably enjoy replicating those or other such matches with friends and family on their favorite console or PC.
