The Euro 2024 is one of the most exciting soccer tournaments in the world. The level of competition and elite skills on display have made it a must-watch. But soccer is not held in the same light in America, compared to the top US sports leagues. Therefore, many are just starting to find out about it.

Once they are tuned in, the magic taking place in Germany is sweeping them away. Making the likes of NFL and Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes a fan.

The three-time Super Bowl winner made his way to Allianz Arena, home of German giants Bayern Munich, to catch the semi-finals between Spain and France. He witnessed the highest level of soccer firsthand, prompting him to write this on his X (formerly twitter) account;

I know Iā€™m late to it! But watching Euros in Europe made me a lifetime fan of the tournament!!

It seems Kylian Mbappe, and the rest of the stars, managed to give Mahomes a show worthy of such praise. Converting him into a lifetime fan suggests the game managed to enthrall Mahomes.

France and Spain battled for a spot in the Euro 2024 Finals. The game saw three goals going into the nets, of which Spanish players scored two, helping them to book their first trip back to the Finals after winning back-to-back titles a decade ago.

Patrick Mahomes soaking in prime sporting events in Europe trip

The Kansas City Chiefs official practice starts on July 21st. Once the camp starts, there is no time for any long vacation for NFL players. They might get a couple of days off here and there but that will not give someone like Patrick Mahomes the chance to tour Europe. The superstar quarterback has taken this time away from the game to soak in all the major sporting events in the European continent.

He and his wife Brittany Mahomes first explored Wimbledon, watching countryman Frances Tiafoe in action. After that, he went to Silverstone to catch the F1 legend Lewis Hamilton win his first race at the British Grand Prix after more than two years. With the Wimbledon finals taking place this Sunday, it is highly unlikely that the Mahomes family will be able to get there in time.

The Euro 2024 Finals are on the same day, just 700 miles apart. Now that they are in Germany, chances are Patrick and Brittany Mahomes will watch Spain play for their fourth Euro win in their history. That should conclude their European tour and head back home before NFL practices start.
