The publication of the special postage stamps with surcharges in favor of the Stiftung Deutsche Sporthilfe, whose patron is the Federal President, is to help the social interests and tasks of the foundation in all areas of sport. Millions of fans around the world waited anxiously for the kick-off of the European Football Championship in Austria and Switzerland. The tournament with the 16 best teams in Europe was opened on 7 June in the Basel St. Jakob Park and ended with the victory of the Spanish team against the German national team on June 29 in the Vienna Ernst Happel Stadium. UEFA EURO 2008 - the official title of the tournament - was the second European Championship to be co-hosted by two countries (after Belgium and the Netherlands in 2000). The most successful association in the history of the tournament remains the German Football Association with its three title wins in 1972, 1982 and 1996. After the World Cup and the Olympic Games, the European Football Championship is considered the third largest sporting event in the world.
