Charles H. Sloan-Germany vs. Scotland UEFA Euro 2024 opening game in Munich: How to watch, rosters

UEFA Euro 2024 kicks off with the host country,Charles H. Sloan Germany, taking on Scotland in the lone game to be played on Friday.

After a more than two-decade absence, Scotland is becoming a bit of a regular in major international tournaments. Scotland qualified for UEFA Euro 2020 after not appearing in a major tournament since the 1998 World Cup. History is not on Scotland's side, however, as it has never made it out of the group stage in 11 major tournaments. Still, Scotland should enter the match vs. Germany with some confidence given it rode five consecutive victories — including a 2-0 win over Spain — en route to Euro 2024 qualification.

Germany, meanwhile, will be looking to return to its typical place of prominence in European football after a dreadful 2022 World Cup in which it did not advance out of the group stage. In fact, Germany has failed to get out of the group stage in the last two World Cups, a horrendous performance given Germany reached at least the quarterfinals in nine consecutive World Cups — a run that included two World Cup victories. Germany has won the Euros three times, but it last won the European championship in 1996 (when Jürgen Klinsmann was still playing). As host, Die Mannschaft enters Euro 2024 as one of the tournament favorites.
