AFTER 107 goals from 50 matches played in 10 stadiums in France over the past 30 days, the world is ready to witness the coronation of European football's newest champion.

The Euro 2016 tournament returns to the venue where it all began, the 81,388-seater Stade de France in Paris, where France defeated Romania in the opening match back on June 10.

Fast forward a month, and this stadium will be where either France or Portugal will lift the coveted Henri Delaunay trophy after Sunday night's grand final (kickoff at 3am on Monday, Singapore time).
