Football Philately – UEFA EURO 2024 Romania

The UEFA European Men’s Football Championships commonly called UEFA 2024 is being held in Germany from 15th Jun 2024 to 14th July 2024 in 10 cities of Germany. The tournament will have 24 teams divided into six Groups of four teams each. This is the third time that the Tournament is being held on German Territory and second time in #reunified Germany.

Romfilatelia released on Friday, June 14th, the philatelic issue Romania at the European Football Championship 2024 in Germany, consisting of two postage stamps, a philatelic block of two imperforated stamps and a First Day Cover.

The postage stamp with the face value of Lei 4.60 shows a common phase, in which a goalkeeper confidently catches a ball sent into his goalpost defender’s space.

The postage stamp with the face value of Lei 13 illustrates a dynamic sequence of picking up a ball from the air and executing a goal kick or a long pass.

The image of the First Day Cover suggests the effort and confidence with which a goalkeeper catches the ball in a composition where the globe appears as a presence reminiscent of the continental and world competitions that have as their scope: football.
