The Swiss Sports Museum's Football Memories project is taking a new look at the nation's footballing heritage in the run up to co-hosting UEFA EURO 2008. Switzerland won the silver medal in the 1924 Olympic football tournament, losing 3-0 to Uruguay in the final in Paris. Given that there was no equivalent European tournament at the time, just reaching the final gave them the right to call themselves European champions. The new Sports Museum project has revived memories of that past achievement and is encouraging Swiss citizens to contribute memories and memorabilia to a new celebration of Swiss football.

Österreichische Post AG, one of four national supporters of UEFA EURO 2008™, has produced various ranges of stamps to mark this summer's event. "For the last 150 years, stamps have been little ambassadors for their country, its culture and characteristics. These stamps are intended as ambassadors representing the European Championship in Austria,"said Herbert Götz, Österreichische Post AG's executive responsible for marketing and clients. The first such ambassadors were in the form of The Trix and Flix Stamp Sheet – with four Renate Gruber designs featuring UEFA EURO 2008™ mascots Trix and Flix. Another stamp set - also designed by Renate Gruber - features the symbols of the eight host cities for UEFA EURO 2008™. Another series features the event logo. One series - the children's drawings series - is the result of an Austria-wide drawing competition held by Österreichische Post in co-operation with the provincial schools inspectorates.
