Published on 27th Mar 2024 by Jerry Hughes
Ah, Match Attax. Is it a game or is it a collection? That depends entirely on who you ask, there will be the collectors who do not dare to touch, bend or even breathe on these and then you’ll get the players, who are out there battling away with Son Heung-Min, Erling Haaland or Mo Salah to see who comes out on top and scores the most goals, Aleksander Mitrović, move over, he’s so 2022/23. This is the 2023/24 season now, and more specifically, there’s something big on the horizon in 2024, that’s right, it’s the Euros and of course to celebrate this phenomenal footballing tournament, Match Attax have released their Official 2024 Euro collection.

If you’re new to Match Attax, where have you been the last 10 years and also welcome to the party, then you’re probably thinking “Where do I start with all of that?” - the answer to that is actually very simple and I can tell you it is…
Official Euro Match Attax 2024 Starter Pack
Wow, how convenient is that? The Official Euro Match Attax 2024 Starter Pack is a real thing and yes, it is how you should start your collection. Included in the Starter Park is one of the most important things you’ll need, the 32-page collector binder for you to store the cards in, you also get a checklist of the correct order to store them for those who are particular, and maintaining order is your thing.
There is also a game guide, which will teach you how to play the game, and also a playable pitch for you to be able to put your best eleven onto to ensure you take your squad to glory over any challengers.
From a card perspective, the Starter Pack comes with 3 total packs of cards - two of these packs are standard packets with randomised cards, but you’ll also get a selection of specific cards featuring exclusive Cristiano Ronaldo and Jude Bellingham Limited Editions and 4 Tactic Cards, including a VAR card, play the VAR card at your own risk but try not to slow the game down too much with it.
Official Euro Match Attax 2024 Card Packets
These are your standard, everyday card packets. They will contain 8 cards per packet and will always be randomised so you won’t know who you’re getting. There will be a combination of normal player cards from each of the 24 teams in the Euro 2024 Championships and you will also get a steady stream of tactics cards as well which are influential in the actual game.
These card packets are the smallest priced items, meaning they’re the best way to quickly boost your collection with any spare change you have and also a solid way for the younger generation to spend their pocket money, now that takes me back to my days of collecting cards when I was younger, what a rush that was.
Official Euro Match Attax 2024 Multipack
This multipack is just that, you get four normal card packets giving you 32 cards to increase your portfolio of cards, but you will also get 2 random Euro Master Limited Edition cards included, there are about 20 of these types of cards to collect, so it makes this multipack an appetizing purchase to bolster your collection.
The Euro Master Limited Edition cards include players ranging from Yannick Carrasco from Belgium to Scott McTominay from Scotland, so there’s a cracking range for you to try and unpack.
Official Euro Match Attax 2024 Booster Tin
The booster tins are where we start getting interesting,and it’s worth paying attention now. There are different varieties of the Booster Tins, you can get the Super Strikers, Shining Stas or Raw Talent.
What does that mean? So, each Booster Tin contains 28 normal cards but you also get a few Limited Edtion cards with each box, so to be able to complete the collection in its entirety, you’ll need to grab yourself a set of each, but do not worry, the 28 cards in there will be unique so your duplicates will hopefully be kept to a minimum if you grab these boxes at the start of your collection.
If you’re now thinking, but who comes with what pack and where now, then we’ve made this quick list to do all the work for you.

Official Euro Match Attax 2024 Card Eco Pack

Inside this Eco pack, you will receive 3 packets of cards, 24 in total along with a random Euro Master Limited Edition card.

What other cards are there to collect?
So, we’ve gone through all of the versions of boxes to collect and we’ve talked about the standard base cards you receive, but there are also some more Limited Edition cards to make you aware of.
There are the Chrome Pro Elite Shield cards, which come in randomised standard packets and these cards look very nice, but as well as the standard Chrome Pro Elite Shield cards, there are also the Refractor, Gold, Orange, Red, and Superfactor Chrome Pro Elite Shield cards to collect. Some are much rarer than others, but if you manage to unpack any of these, run, do not walk to your collector binder, and make sure there are no creases in them by the time they’re encased in that protective plastic goodness to keep them safe.
For those who are lucky enough too, there are Genuine Autograph cards scattered throughout packs around the Country, if you’re lucky enough to pack one of these, you have made it as a Match Attax Collector and completed all of life, so well done to you!
Now we’ve walked you through the packs, the cards, and everything else, how will you start and build your collection and will you complete it all? Hopefully, if you do complete it, there will be no need for any VAR checks, just in case.
