03 June 2024, North Rhine-Westphalia, Dortmund: Soccer: Before the European Championships, Manfred Schepp (l-r), owner of Bellluci, Dortmund's Lord Mayor Thomas Westphal (SPD) and Martin Sauer, EURO24 representative for the City of Dortmund, stand on the first section of carpet for UEFA EURO 2024. During the European Championships, a carpet will run through the city center. The artificial turf route begins at the Katharinentreppe at the main railway station and ends shortly before the stadium. The green path is intended to provide orientation for visitors to the tournament, show them the city and relieve the burden on public transport. Photo: David Inderlied/dpa
