Maybe you’re a die-hard Kylian Mbappé fan. Or maybe your 10-year-old is suddenly fascinated with all things soccer (or, football, as it’s known across the pond), and her love of the game is rubbing off on you. Either way, if you have your sights set on Euro 2024–one of the biggest soccer tournaments in the world that this year runs June 14 to July 14–here are a few things to help bring the tournament right into your home.

 

Step aside hockey and baseball cards–this next month, footie cards are where it’s at. This set, made up of four packs of 32 cards, offers a mix of up and coming players to top-rated players. (In case you’re searching for a Kevin De Bruyne or Cristiano Ronaldo card.)

Twenty-four teams mean there are a lot of games to keep track of. This poster, which lists the games in Eastern Standard Time (useful for a tournament based in Germany!) is available in a smaller or larger size.

 

If you’re tasked with hosting a watch party for the final game scheduled on July 14th, this European flag banner sets the tone for the big game and can be reused when the World Cup comes to North America (including Canada!) in 2026. 

 

While you’ll find Netherlands and England flags hanging on my house, you may opt to put up this German one or one for your team of choice. These flags are keepers for the World Cup in two years as well given they’re double-stitched and UV-fade resistant.

If you’ve got kids by your side for the tournament but a game is too long for them to watch–or they’re waiting for an agonizing VAR decision–hand them this 86-paged book which features mazes, more elaborate colouring pages, brain teasers, and more. 

 

If your little ones are inspired watching Thomas Muller on the pitch–or maybe you’re thinking of getting back out there for some rec soccer–set up these compact pop-up nets for a mini-game in the backyard during halftime. The nets also come with a carrying case and steel rods to anchor them into the ground.

Or if you’re looking for something more affordable, this cotton t-shirt features the official tournament logo. It’s also a Better Cotton t-shirt which is a sustainable cotton-certified brand.

 

Penalty kicks are stressful to watch and this 12-pack of squeezable balls is handy to have on hand to give to guests as they watch their teams try to make it through a round of them.
