UEFA EURO 2020 tournament is finally happening after it was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe last year. Although the tournament is taking place this year, it will still retain the name UEFA EURO 2020.
This tournament which marks UEFA’s 60th anniversary will see twenty-four team playing across 51 matches in 12 cities. The tournament starts on Friday, 11 June and it all ends at Wembley Stadium with the final taking place on Sunday, 11 July 2021.
To celebrate the tournament, Welbeck Publishing has published two books to help children follow the UEFA EURO games. The first book is titled UEFA Euro 2020 Activity Book and is aimed at children who are 6 to 8-years-old while the second book UEFA Euro 2020 Handbook is aimed at children aged 7 to 12-years-old. So keep on reading to find out how you can purchase a copy of this book.
UEFA EURO 2020 Activity Book
This is a great book for young football fans aged from 6 to 8-year-old as it has a mix of activities themed around the UEFA EURO 2020 football championships. This official book is filled with an array of games, puzzles, colouring and drawing activities. The book guarantees to stimulate the creativity of young football fans while greatly enhancing their appreciation of one of the most prominent sporting tournaments staged in Europe.
Endorsed by UEFA, the official activity book for EURO 2020 offers young football fans the perfect companion to Europe’s largest continental football tournament.
UEFA EURO 2020 Kids’ Handbook
This handbook is perfect for older children aged 7 to 12-year-olds as it offers older kids the chance to follow the action closely as they detail every score and watch every game. This fun-filled book not only delivers a wealth of football information in a fun and colourful format but is the right size for kids to carry in their rucksack as they head for football training.
There are a mix of facts, puzzles, quizzes as well as charts for them to write details of every match in the book which will keep them both entertained as well as help them become experts in the tournament.
What did we think of the book?
My son loved both the books, the Activity Book was a lot simpler and more fun for him to do as he enjoyed spending time colouring, drawing and working on the puzzles while the Handbook was fabulous as he took time to research the scores of the games and to write the groups down so that he can follow the matches. The books encouraged my son, Thomas to search for the names of the teams in each group on the internet and read more about the football players in each country instead of just playing computer games. Would definitely recommend getting both the books for young football fans who are super excited about the EURO matches.
How much does both the books cost and how can I order a copy?

My 6 year old is starting to get into football. I think he’d enjoy the age appropriate book. I’m pleased to see it is well priced.
Agree, great good where they can get involved and start writing down the points of each team as well
This sounds like a great set for kids who are wanting to know more about the Euros! It is great they have mixed up fun activities with information about the tournament.
I agree, it is filled with facts and fun activities for kids to do
These look great for young football fans! Jack has been showing an interest in the Euros so he might like these – I will definitely be showing them to him!
Lots of activities in there for him to do, I am sure he would love this
My nephew is such a football fan and he is just 11-years-old. So, I feel this UEFA Euro 2020 Handbook will be the perfect gift for him😍He’ll love this book!
Yes it would indeed, especially if he is football crazy
These look like so much fun! My son would have loved these when he was younger!
So glad to hear that, something to help them understand and get into the Euro games
These look like great books for children passionate about the Euro. When I was growing up I remember that we had some similar books with a space for stickers. We would get the stickers for free when we bought gum at the corner shop haha.
Oh yes I remember those sticker books as well, I loved to collect those when I was younger
These look fantastic and definitely books my son would love! I recently brought him the sticker album to complete with his dad which they love. I will have to keep an eye out for these for him too as they seem like a reasonable price too.
Yes they are priced reasonably and worth getting it for your son if he loves football
We’re going to look back and get so confused why it’s still called the Euro2020, but I guess they had so much printed up with this name you don’t want to waste it. These look like nice books to get the kids involved more x
I agree, I was as well initially but I guess like you say it only makes sense to proceed with Euro2020, otherwise it would have never have taken place
These look so much fun for kids who love football. I am pretty excited myself to watch some of the matches!
Agree, we have our favourite teams and it is fun to see who wins
My son would love these. He has become obsessed with watching football at the moment and is loving the Euro
Our instagram giveaway just ended, you could have won this for him
