The 2024 European Championship trophy in Germany is not the same as the one that was first awarded in 1960 when the Soviet Union won the title.
But who designed this trophy and where did it get its name from?
The name of the trophy is Henri Delaunay, in honor of the first general secretary of UEFA, who is also the architect of the creation of this tournament.
The Frenchman died shortly before the European Championship started for the first time.
The trophy remained the same until 2006, when it became a new model, longer than the first one. It is 60 centimeters high.
It has more shine, weighs eight kilograms, two less than the previous one.
The European trophy has 92.5 percent silver, while the rest is copper.
It costs about 15 euros, "Marca" wrote on Sunday.
