AP Photographers Captivate Europe with Stunning Moments at the Euro Championship and Beyond: Celebrating Sport’s Unique Aspects and Emotions through Visual Storytelling

AP photographers are capturing the essence of the European Championship in Germany through their incredible moments, showcasing the excitement and intensity of this major soccer tournament. From France’s Kylian Mbappé training with a protective face mask to Belgium’s Jeremy Doku displaying great technique on the field, the photographers are not missing a beat.

Away from the soccer pitch, the photographers were present to capture the joy of Amy Yang as she celebrated her victory at the Women’s PGA Championship. Detail-oriented shots, such as Sha’Carri Richardson’s long fingernails as she wins a heat in the U.S. track trials, are showcasing the unique aspects of each sport.

The desire to win is a central theme in sports, and the photographers are illustrating this through powerful images like Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown’s dunk in the NBA basketball finals. The emotions and atmosphere of the tournament are being beautifully portrayed through the lens of the AP photographers. In addition to capturing action on and off the field, they also captured frenetic cheers from Turkish supporters in stadium stands during matches.
