Konami Digital Entertainment B.V. has acquired the official UEFA EURO 2016 license.

EURO 2016 will see 24 teams gather in France for initial group matches before progressing to knock-out stages. Qualified teams from all over Europe will compete for the famed Henry Delauney Cup, with the first game played on June 10th, and the final taking place in France’s stunning Stade de France a month later on July 10th. During this time, 50 matches will be played, showcasing Europe’s greatest football talent.

KONAMI will also be proudly displaying the Henry Delauney Cup at this year’s gamescom – Europe’s largest consumer gaming event – in Cologne, from August 5th-9th.

“We are extremely proud to be working with UEFA regarding EURO 2016,” stated Erik Bladinieres, European Brand Director of Football for Konami Digital Entertainment B.V. “The PES series is famed for showing football at its very best and is created by a team that truly loves and understands it. We are committed to representing EURO 2016 moving forward in a way that truly reflects the status of this epic tournament.

Konami are a great licensing partner and have provided top quality video games for our club competitions since many years. We look forward to their newest extension of the PES series, created specifically for UEFA EURO 2016, further engaging with football fans in Europe and around the world.”
