FOLLOW THE FOOTBALL (SOCCER) FUN.

Last Thursday, an Eight by Eight channel for the 2020 Euros* was launched on Apple News+. Designed by Robert Priest and Grace Lee, with considerable flair, for the dedicated football fan (which, of course, includes me).
* Being held a year late, for obvious reasons.

Above, the official logo for the 2018–20 UEFA European Football Championship (the full name, which I admit I had to look up). The tournament started on Friday in Rome, and will include 51 games at 11 venues, with the final in London on July 11.

Here’s some elements from the 12 sections of Eight by Eight’s channel. The complete content: https://bit.ly/3iIJXXh
Below, the opener for a Bruno Fernandes (Portugal) feature.

From “Top Ten Players to Watch.”

There’s a full match schedule and bracket.

All 24 home kits are shown, and ranked. Illustrations by Haisam Hussein.

And if you want to put the championship trophy in your living room and walk around it, there’s an AR feature.

Editor’s note: OK, I’m not impartial in all this. I’ve been involved with Eight by Eight since before it’s launch in 2013.
