With the tournament delayed by a year due to the coronavirus pandemic, the situation has changed quite a bit for some of these teams since then.

The likes of France, Spain, Belgium, Germany and England are still among the favorites, while the likes of the Netherlands and Portugal have dropped off a little in recent months. Dark horses galore include Italy, Norway, Denmark and Wales, while first-timers Finland and North Macedonia will add plenty of intrigue.

From Kylian Mbappe to Cristiano Ronaldo, Harry Kane to Robert Lewandowski and Gareth Bale to Kevin de Bruyne, stars will shine across Europe this summer. The EURO 2020 squads are brimming with superstars, but who will emerge as new stars this summer?

11 stadiums across 11 difference European countries will host games, with Wembley Stadium also hosting the semifinals and finals, plus games played in Glasgow, Seville, Budapest, Munich, Copenhagen, Baku, St Petersburg, Amsterdam, Bucharest and Rome.

UEFA’s rule state that the final rosters must be in on June 1 while ‘there can be unlimited replacements before the first match in the event of serious injury or illness (including COVID-19 or ‘close contact’ to positive case).’
