Preview of UEFA EURO 

Held every four years, UEFA EURO 2024 is a prestigious tournament that showcases the continent’s best talent and fiercest rivalries on the grandest stage. Germany will host the 17th edition of this marquee event from June 14 to July 14, 2024, with matches taking place across 10 stadiums in major cities like Berlin, Munich, and Hamburg.

UEFA EURO 2024 will feature 24 national teams, each having navigated a grueling qualifying campaign to earn their spot in the prestigious tournament. The group stage will see these teams divided into six groups of four, with the top two from each group and the four best third-placed teams advancing to the knockout rounds. From there, it’s a single-elimination format, where the intensity and drama will reach fever pitch as teams battle for supremacy.

Key Highlights of UEFA EURO 2024

As Euro 2024 approaches, the French national team emerges as the clear favorite to claim the coveted title. Boasting world-class quality across all positions, including the sensational Kylian Mbappé who is set to join Real Madrid, Les Blues possess a formidable squad. Their recent triumphs, including the 2016 Euros and the 2018 World Cup, and a runners-up finish at the 2022 World Cup, solidify their status as the team to beat.

However, the road to glory will not be an easy one, as several other nations harbor legitimate ambitions. With a rejuvenated and fresher squad than the one that fell agonizingly short at Euro 2020, England will be determined to go one step further. Meanwhile, powerhouses like Spain, Portugal, Belgium, and the Netherlands will fancy their chances, each possessing strong squads capable of challenging for the European crown.
