More about this puzzle
I made this puzzle 'Europe's Football Champions' (European Football Championship 2024) - this is number 1119801815. This puzzle was published on May 18, 2024. The artist is Jan van Haasteren Jan van Haasteren studio. That's this puzzle:
and this is the box:
Puzzle published in honor of European Football Championship 2024
The 2024 European Football Championship will be held from June 14 to July 14 in Germany. The opening match will take place at the Allianz Arena in Munich, and the final will be played at the Olympiastadion in Berlin. There are ten host cities: Berlin, Munich, Dortmund, Stuttgart, Hamburg, Düsseldorf, Cologne, Frankfurt, Leipzig, and Gelsenkirchen. The tournament will feature 24 teams, with a format similar to the World Cup, with the group stage followed by a knockout stage. Environmental awareness also plays a role; measures have been taken to minimize the carbon footprint, such as grouping matches into regional clusters to reduce travel distances and encourage the use of public transport. For fans attending the event, there are fan zones in each host city where matches are shown on large screens. Public transport will likely be the easiest way to travel, with discounts available for ticket holders. Germany, as host country, is automatically qualified for the tournament. Tickets went on sale from October 2023, with an official resale platform becoming available for those wishing to resell their tickets.
More about this puzzle
1) This puzzle has been published before
This is a renewed edition of an existing puzzle that was previously published in 500 and 1000 pieces under the name 'Goal (Football)'. But it was re-released precisely in honor of the 2024 European Championships in Germany. It is not EXACTLY the same as those puzzles that were published in 2012 (and a variant in 1996). You can clearly see a German and Dutch flag at the top of the puzzle and that is the biggest difference with the previously released puzzle. Slightly different shades of green have also been used.
2) Not the name 'European Football Championship 2024'
There are some trademark rights issues, so that's why this puzzle won't be called 'European Football Championship 2024'. But therefore 'Europe's Football Champions'. You saw this same phenomenon with the 'Formula 1'puzzle, and the 'Paris Summer Games' (instead of 'Olympic Games').

How long will it take you to complete this 1000 piece puzzle?
I completed the 'Europe's Football Champions' puzzle in peace and quiet and it took me several days to complete it. Beautifully made on a puzzle mat on the floor in the living room. I do record the time, but not very precisely, puzzling remains a hobby! But to give an idea of how long it took me to complete this JvH puzzle of 1000 pieces:
- Explaining the pieces: 20 minutes
- Laying the edges = 25 minutes
- Laying the rest of the pieces = 4 hours and 30 minutes
- Which made me do this puzzle in total = 5 hours and 15 minutes. It used to take me almost always 8 hours, but I have a special tip to be able to puzzle a lot faster
About Jumbo puzzles
Jumbo (not to be confused with our supermarket Jumbo!) makes toys, games and puzzles. Jumbo, for example, has made the very well-known games such as “Human don't get annoyed” and “Stratego” and “PimPamPet”. Games that have been around for generations and are still widely played by both young and old. Jumbo has been making and developing toys since about 1900. In the early years of the company, only toys from other countries were imported to the Netherlands. However, since about 1930 it was decided to also make their own toys, at the time manufacturing wooden toys, which was very popular at the time. Almost all toys in those years were made of wood. An important spearhead was that the toys made by Jumbo had to be of very good quality; it had to be as strong as an Elephant. An elephant had to stand on it! The red elephant has been the hallmark of Jumbo's games and puzzles for years. The name Jumbo and the red elephant together form the logo from about 1935. The Jumbo elephant is drawn by Mr. Möhr. He worked at an advertising agency and regularly signed for Hausemann & Hötte. Mr Möhr was at one point commissioned to design a beautiful new elephant logo for the Hausemann & Hötte toys. The logo has changed a bit since then. For example, the eye has grown over the years and has dropped slightly more, resulting in a friendlier elephant.
In the past, the elephant was not only used in the color red, but in all kinds of colors such as blue, yellow, black, white and green. All those colors were cozy and playful. For example, one time there was a yellow elephant on the box and the other time a red one. It was usually looked at which color best matched the color of the box. It was not until the end of the 60s that the red elephant was definitively chosen. Red is a color that stands out and attracts attention.
From 1945 Jumbo also started to focus on games made of cardboard. Jumbo has therefore been a guarantee for strong quality for years! Jumbo is a unique Dutch company with a rich history, with its head office in Zaandam. About 130 employees work for Jumbo. With a turnover of €75 million, Jumbo is a medium-sized European player in toys. Jumbo has sales offices in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and the United Kingdom. They export to more than 25 countries around the world.
In 1980 Jumbo starts the production of Jan van Haasteren Puzzles.
