The Spain manager has won the Euro 2024 football championship with his team. The day of the victory against England, he spoke of his faith: “I’m not superstitious. If I pray today and tomorrow, it’s because I’ve been doing it for a long time”.

Christians from Germany, Spain and Italy comment on how passionately Euro 2024 is being followed in their respective countries. There are fewer players on the field with a public faith than in the past.

Believers in England, Poland and Switzerland describe how churches connect football and the gospel and point to players known for being committed Christians.

Chris Führich represents Germany at the Euro 2024 with a quiet time routine he tries to follow every morning and evening. Also Benjamin Heinrichs is a committed Christian.
