Euro 2024 squads and squad numbers: All 24 countries have confirmed their final selections

Who should we expect to rock up at Euro 2024?

Euro 2024 starts with hosts Germany facing Scotland on June 14; England, France, Germany, Georgia and the rest have named their tournament squads.

All 24 competing nations were once again permitted to name 26-man squads for the summer after confirmation from UEFA following pressure from numerous international managers and executives.

Most countries named a preliminary or training squad before cutting it down, while others simply called their final teams in one go ahead of the deadline for submission to UEFA on June 7.

Here are the players who can expect to be on the plane, train, coach, group walk or other alternative means of travel, complete with squad numbers and a few additional notes on each country and even a couple of stand-by lists.

 

Group A (Germany, Hungary, Scotland, Switzerland)

Who is in the Germany squad for Euro 2024?

Final 26-man squad:

Goalkeepers: 1. Manuel Neuer (Bayern Munich), 12. Oliver Baumann (Hoffenheim), 22. Marc-Andre ter Stegen (Barcelona).

Defenders: 2. Antonio Rudiger (Real Madrid), 3. David Raum (Leipzig), 4. Jonathan Tah (Bayer Leverkusen), 6. Joshua Kimmich (Bayern Munich), 15. Nico Schlotterbeck (Borussia Dortmund), 16. Waldemar Anton (Stuttgart), 18. Maximilian Mittelstadt (Stuttgart), 20. Benjamin Henrichs (Leipzig), 24. Robin Koch (Eintracht Frankfurt).

Midfielders: 5. Pascal Gross (Brighton), 8. Toni Kroos (Real Madrid), 10. Jamal Musiala (Bayern Munich), 11. Chris Fuhrich (Stuttgart), 17. Florian Wirtz (Bayer Leverkusen), 19. Leroy Sane (Bayern Munich), 21. Ilkay Gundogan (Barcelona), 23. Robert Andrich (Bayer Leverkusen), 25. Emre Can (Borussia Dortmund).

Forwards: 7. Kai Havertz (Arsenal), 9. Niclas Fullkrug (Borussia Dortmund), 13. Thomas Muller (Bayern Munich), 14. Maximilian Beier (Hoffenheim), 26. Deniz Undav (Stuttgart).

Mats Hummels, Leon Goretzka, Julian Brandt, Karim Adeyemi, Niklas Sule, Timo Werner and Serge Gnabry were the first players omitted from the preliminary squad, with keeper Alexander Nubel making way last.

“I had long conversations with both of them,” manager Julian Nagelsmann said of Hummels and Goretzka in particular. “They’re very disappointed, that’s understandable. You would like to take everyone with you.

“They did everything to be there. I tried to explain why they weren’t included. It’s understandable that they are sad. They weren’t bad conversations, but of course there are more pleasant conversations in life.”

Two days before the tournament commenced, Aleksandar Pavlovic withdrew from the squad due to illness and was replaced by Can.

World ranking: 16th

Manager: Julian Nagelsmann

Who is in the Hungary squad for Euro 2024?

Final 26-man squad:

Goalkeepers: 1. Peter Gulacsi (Leipzig), 12. Denes Dibusz (Ferencvaros), 22. Peter Szappanos (Paksi).

Defenders: 2. Adam Lang (Omonia), 3. Botond Balogh (Parma), 4. Attila Szalai (Freiburg), 5. Attila Fiola (Fehervar), 6. Willi Orban (Leipzig), 7. Loic Nego (Le Havre), 11. Milos Kerkez (Bournemouth), 18. Zsolt Nagy (Puskas Akademia), 21. Endre Botka (Ferenvaros), 24. Marton Dardai (Hertha BSC).

Midfielders: 8. Adam Nagy (Spezia), 10. Dominik Szoboszlai (Liverpool), 13. Andras Schafer (Union Berlin), 14. Bendeguz Bolla (Servette), 15. Laszlo Kleinheisler (Hajduk Split), 16. Daniel Gazdag (Philadelphia Union), 17. Callum Styles (Sunderland), 25. Krisztofer Horvath (Kecskemet), 26. Mihály Kata (MTK Budapest).

Forwards: 9. Martin Adam (Ulsan), 19. Barnabas Varga (Ferencvaros), 20. Roland Sallai (Freiburg), 23. Kevin Csoboth (Ujpest).

Balazs Toth, Krisztian Lisztes, Attila Mocsi, Zalan Vancsa and Balint Vecsei have been named as back-ups in case of injury, with Hungary uncertain on the status of a couple of players.

“I have to say that after a long time – including key players – everyone can be called up,” said manager Marco Rossi. “There are two question marks, Fiola and Lang, but of course we are in contact with them. Our medical staff have also consulted them, thus it looks like they can join us.”

World ranking: 26th

Manager: Marco Rossi

Who is in the Scotland squad for Euro 2024?

Final 26-man squad:

Goalkeepers: 1. Angus Gunn (Norwich), 12. Liam Kelly (Motherwell), 21. Zander Clark (Hearts).

Defenders: 2. Anthony Ralston (Celtic), 3. Andy Robertson (Liverpool), 5. Grant Hanley (Norwich City), 6. Kieran Tierney (Real Sociedad), 13. Jack Hendry (Al-Ettifaq), 15. Ryan Porteous (Watford), 16. Liam Cooper (Leeds), 22. Ross McRorie (Bristol City), 24. Greg Taylor (Celtic), 26. Scott McKenna (Copenhagen).

Midfielders: 4. Scott McTominay (Manchester United), 7. John McGinn (Aston Villa), 8. Callum McGregor (Celtic), 11. Ryan Christie (Bournemouth), 14. Billy Gilmour (Brighton), 17. Stuart Armstrong (Southampton), 20. Ryan Jack (Rangers), 23. Kenny McLean (Norwich City).

Forwards: 9. Lawrence Shankland (Hearts), 10. Che Adams (Southampton), 18. Lewis Morgan (New York Red Bulls), 19. Tommy Conway (Bristol City), 25. James Forrest (Celtic).

Injuries really have taken their toll here. Lyndon Dykes and Ben Doak were both picked but had to withdraw and there are still fingers crossed about some of those in the squad. Hanley has played eight minutes since March 6; Ryan Jack has not played since March 7. Stuart Armstrong has not played since April 20.

Craig Gordon and John Souttar were the last players to be cut from the preliminary squad; Steve Clarke’s conversation with the former was “tough” and “emotional” but the manager is happy with his “balanced squad” as “we know what we have within our group”. Is he blind to the glaring holes they have?

World ranking: 39th

Manager: Steve Clarke

Who is in the Switzerland squad for Euro 2024?

Final 26-man squad:

Goalkeepers: 1. Yann Sommer (Inter), 12. Yvon Mvogo (Lorient), 21. Gregor Kobel (Borussia Dortmund).

Defenders: 2. Leonidas Stergiou (Stuttgart), 3. Silvan Widmer (Mainz), 4. Nico Elvedi (Borussia Monchengladbach), 5. Manuel Akanji (Manchester City), 13. Ricardo Rodriguez (Torino), 15. Cedric Zesiger (Wolfsburg), 22. Fabian Schar (Newcastle).

Midfielders: 6. Denis Zakaria (Monaco), 8. Remo Freuler (Bologna), 10. Granit Xhaka (Bayer Leverkusen), 16. Vincent Sierro (Toulouse), 20. Michel Aebischer (Bologna), 23. Xherdan Shaqiri (Chicago Fire), 24. Ardon Jashari (Luzern), 26. Fabian Rieder (Rennes).

Forwards: 7. Breel Embolo (Monaco), 9. Noah Okafor (Milan), 11. Renato Steffen (Lugano), 14. Steven Zuber (AEK), 17. Ruben Vargas (Augsburg), 18. Kwadwo Duah (Ludogorets), 19. Dan Ndoye (Bologna), 25. Zeki Amdouni (Burnley).

Manager Murat Yakin explained that some younger players were named in a large preliminary squad – seven of the 38 initially called up have never been capped and five more have only appeared twice at most for the national team – to account for those who are unable to join up with the training camp yet due to club commitments.

Aurele Amenda, Ulisses Garcia, Joel Monteiro, Bryan Okoh and Becir Omeragic were then dropped to bring Switzerland’s squad down to 33, before Kevin Mbabu, Filip Ugrinic, Albian Hajdari, Uran Bislimi, Pascal Loretz and Marvin Keller also made way.

Andi Zeqiri was the final player to be cut, with Yakin saying the forward “made the decision difficult for us,” while adding: “We have had very good training sessions. The competition for the 26 places contributed to the high training intensity and kept the tension in the team high throughout the camp. The mood in the team is great and I am very satisfied.”

World ranking: 19th

“We know the strength of our opponents. They do not play to pass the group but to win the competition,” manager Sylvinho has said of the Group of Death, in which 20-year-old Medon Berisha, whose first cap came in a build-up win over Liechtenstein on June 3, will hope to impress.

World ranking: 66th

Who is in the Croatia squad for Euro 2024?

Final 26-man squad:

Goalkeepers: 1. Dominik Livakovic (Fenerbahce), 12. Nediljko Labrovic (Rijeka), 23. Ivica Ivusic (Pafos).

Defenders: 2. Josip Stanisic (Bayer Leverkusen), 3. Marin Pongracic (Lecce), 4. Josko Gvardiol (Manchester City), 5. Martin Erlic (Sassuolo), 6. Josip Sutalo (Ajax), 19. Borna Sosa (Ajax), 21. Domagoj Vida (AEK Athens), 22. Josip Juranovic (Union Berlin).

Midfielders: 7. Lovro Majer (Wolfsburg), 8. Mateo Kovacic (Manchester City), 10. Luka Modric (Real Madrid), 11. Marcelo Brozovic (Al-Nassr), 13. Nikola Vlasic (Torino), 15. Mario Pasalic (Atalanta), 18. Luka Ivanusec (Feyenoord), 25. Luka Sucic (Salzburg), 26. Martin Baturina (Dinamo Zagreb).

Forwards: 9. Andrej Kramaric (Hoffenheim), 14. Ivan Perisic (Hajduk Split), 16. Ante Budimir (Osasuna), 17. Bruno Petkovic (Dinamo Zagreb), 20. Marko Pjaca (Rijeka), 24. Marco Pasalic (Rijeka).

Borna Barisic (Rangers), Duje Caleta-Car (Lyon), Kristijan Jakic (Augsburg), Dominik Kotarski (PAOK), Toni Fruk (Rijeka), Marin Ljubicic (LASK), Igor Matanovic (Karlsruher), Niko Kristian Sigur (Hajduk Split) and Petar Sucic (Dinamo Zagreb) were named on a standby list by manager Zlatko Dalic, who said they “will not force anything” when it comes to Perisic, who is only just returning from an ACL injury.

World ranking: 10th

Manager: Zlatko Dalic

Who is in the Italy squad for Euro 2024?

Final 26-man squad:

Goalkeepers: 1. Gianluigi Donnarumma (Paris Saint-Germain), 12. Guglielmo Vicario (Spurs), 26. Alex Meret (Napoli).

Defenders: 2. Giovanni Di Lorenzo (Napoli), 3. Federico Dimarco (Inter), 4. Alessandro Buongiorno (Torino), 5. Riccardo Calafiori (Bologna), 13. Matteo Darmian (Inter), 17. Gianluca Mancini (Roma), 23. Alessandro Bastoni (Inter), 24. Andrea Cambiaso (Juventus), 15. Raoul Bellanova (Torino), 6. Federico Gatti (Juventus).

Midfielders: 16. Bryan Cristante (Roma), 8. Jorginho (Arsenal), 10. Lorenzo Pellegrini (Roma), 18. Nicolo Barella (Inter), 7. Davide Frattesi (Inter), 21. Nicolo Fagioli (Juventus), 25. Michael Folorunsho (Verona).

Forwards: 19. Mateo Retegui (Genoa), 11. Giacomo Raspadori (Napoli), 14. Federico Chiesa (Juventus), 20. Mattia Zaccagni (Lazio), 22. Stephan El Shaarawy (Roma), 9. Gianluca Scamacca (Atalanta).

Only nine of Roberto Mancini’s champions from Euro 2020 will defend Italy’s crown in Germany, with Luciano Spalletti controversially included Nicolo Fagioli despite the midfielder playing just two games since his return from a betting ban.

The struggle to find a reliable goalscoring striker continues, with Scamacca favoured over Ciro Immobile even though the former was dropped for the March squads.

Francesco Acerbi and Giorgio Scalvini were in the initial 30-man squad but had to withdraw due to injury. Ivan Provedel, Samuele Ricci and Riccardo Orsolini were then cut from the final selection.

“We have everything we need to do well,” manager Luciano Spalletti believes.

Defenders: 2. Dani Carvajal (Real Madrid), 3. Robin Le Normand (Real Sociedad), 4. Nacho Fernandez (Real Madrid), 5. Dani Vivian (Athletic Bilbao), 12. Alejandro Grimaldo (Bayer Leverkusen), 14. Aymeric Laporte (Al-Nassr), 22. Jesus Navas (Sevilla), 24. Marc Cucurella (Chelsea).

Midfielders: 6. Mikel Merino (Real Sociedad), 8. Fabian Ruiz (Paris Saint-Germain), 15. Alex Baena (Villarreal), 16. Rodri (Manchester City), 18. Martin Zubimendi (Real Sociedad), 20. Pedri (Barcelona), 25. Fermin Lopez (Barcelona), .

Forwards: 7. Alvaro Morata (Atletico Madrid), 9. Joselu (Real Madrid), 10. Dani Olmo (Leipzig), 11. Ferran Torres (Barcelona), 17. Nico Williams (Athletic Bilbao), 19. Lamine Yamal (Barcelona), 21. Mikel Oyarzabal (Real Sociedad), 26. Ayoze Perez (Real Betis).

“We have very competitive forwards. Regarding Ayoze Perez, I think it is time to give him this opportunity,” manager Luis de la Fuente said of the former Newcastle attacker, who can reminisce over happier times at St James’ Park with Joselu.

Pau Cubarsi, Aleix Garcia and Marcos Llorente were the final players cut from the preliminary squad.

Group C (Denmark, England, Serbia, Slovenia)

Who is in the Denmark squad for Euro 2024?

Final 26-man squad:

Goalkeepers: 1. Kasper Schmeichel (Anderlecht), 16. Mads Hermansen (Leicester), 22. Frederik Ronnow (Union Berlin).

Defenders: 2. Joachim Andersen (Crystal Palace), 3. Jannik Vestergaard (Leicester), 4. Simon Kjaer (Milan), 5. Joakim Maehle (Wolfsburg), 6. Andreas Christensen (Barcelona), 13. Mathias Jorgensen (Brentford), 17. Victor Kristiansen (Bologna), 18. Alexander Bah (Benfica), 25. Rasmus Kristensen (Roma).

Midfielders: 7. Mathias Jensen (Brentford), 8. Thomas Delaney (Anderlecht), 10. Christian Eriksen (Manchester United), 11. Andreas Skov Olsen (Club Brugge), 14. Mikkel Damsgaard (Brentford), 15. Christian Norgaard (Brentford), 21. Morten Hjulmand (Sporting), 23. Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (Spurs).

Forwards: 9. Rasmus Hojlund (Manchester United), 12. Kasper Dolberg (Anderlecht), 19. Jonas Wind (Wolfsburg), 20. Yussuf Poulsen (Leipzig), 24. Anders Dreyer (Anderlecht), 26. Jacob Bruun Larsen (Hoffenheim), .

The omission of Celtic’s Matt O’Riley came as quite the surprise, with manager Kasper Hjulmand offering the following explanation:

“Matt has been a really good player, he’s had a great season. He played well and I understand the question. I have chosen six other midfielders but it was tight. I have chosen six players that we can move around a bit. Mikkel Damsgaard and Andreas Christensen can also cover positions in the midfield.

“It has gone beyond Matt, but it was a difficult choice. I know he will play a lot of international matches. He couldn’t have done anything differently. He could hardly do better than what he did this season.”

Who is in the England squad for Euro 2024?

Final 26-man squad:

Goalkeepers: 1. Jordan Pickford (Everton), 13. Aaron Ramsdale (Arsenal), 23. Dean Henderson (Crystal Palace).

Defenders: 2. Kyle Walker (Manchester City), 3. Luke Shaw (Manchester United), 5. John Stones (Manchester City), 6. Marc Guehi (Crystal Palace), 12. Kieran Trippier (Newcastle United), 14. Ezri Konsa (Aston Villa), 15. Lewis Dunk (Brighton), 22. Joe Gomez (Liverpool).

Midfielders: 4. Declan Rice (Arsenal), 8. Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool), 16. Conor Gallagher (Chelsea), 25. Adam Wharton (Crystal Palace), 26.. Kobbie Mainoo (Manchester United).

Forwards: 7. Bukayo Saka (Arsenal), 9. Harry Kane (Bayern Munich), 10. Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid), 11. Phil Foden (Manchester City), 17. Ivan Toney (Brentford), 18. Anthony Gordon (Newcastle United), 19. Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa), 20. Jarrod Bowen (West Ham), 21. Eberechi Eze (Crystal Palace), 24. Cole Palmer (Chelsea).

The Jordan Henderson omission was surprising, along with Marcus Rashford missing out. Gareth Southgate said of the latter that “other players in that area have had better seasons”, while Henderson was lacking “intensity” after an injury.

That left England with a 33-man preliminary squad, from which James Maddison was the first to fall. Then came Liverpool pair Curtis Jones and Jarell Quansah, before James Trafford made way as expected.

Slightly less predictable were the decisions to cull Harry Maguire due to injury, as well as fellow centre-half Jarrad Branthwaite and Jack Grealish. That one prompted an ‘angry’ reaction from his teammates but can be easily justified on current form.

World ranking: 4th

Manager: Gareth Southgate

Last major tournament finish: Beaten 2-1 by France in World Cup 2022 quarter-finals

Who is in the Serbia squad for Euro 2024?

Final 26-man squad:

Goalkeepers: 1. Predrag Rajkovic (Mallorca), 12. Dorde Petrovic (Chelsea), 23. Vanja Milinkovic-Savic (Torino).

Defenders: 2.Strahinja Pavlovic (RB Salzburg), 3. Nemanja Stojic (TSC Backa Topola), 4. Nikola Milenkovic (Fiorentina), 13. Milos Veljkovic (Werder Bremen), 15. Srdan Babic (Spartak Moscow), 24. Uros Spajic (Red Star Belgrade),

Midfielders: 5. Nemanja Maksimovic (Getafe), 6. Nemanja Gudelj (Sevilla), 10. Dusan Tadic (Fenerbahce), 11. Filip Kostic (Juventus), 14. Andrija Zivkovic (PAOK), 16. Srdan Mijailovic (Red Star Belgrade), 17. Ivan Ilic (Torino), 19. Lazar Samardzic (Udinese), 20. Sergej Milenkovic-Savic (Al-Hilal), 21. Mijat Gacinovic (AEK Athens), 22. Sasa Lukic (Fulham), 25. Filip Mladenovic (Panathinaikos), 26. Vejko Birmancevic (Sparta Prague).

Forwards: 7. Dusan Vlahovic (Juventus), 8. Luka Jovic (AC Milan), 9. Aleksandar Mitrovic (Al-Hilal), 18. Petar Ratkov (RB Salzburg)

Perhaps the most surprising of the omissions – even before the final cut to 26 players – were those of Marko Grujic and Erhan Masovic.

“These guys have shown incredible mentality, and that’s what’s needed to qualify for major tournaments,” said the unpopular manager Dragan Stojkovic of an unconvincing route to Germany. No country made Euro 2024 with fewer points in qualifying than Serbia aside from Georgia, who only made the play-offs through the Nations League.

Who is in the Slovenia squad for Euro 2024?

Final 26-man squad:

Goalkeepers: 1. Jan Oblak (Atletico Madrid), 12. Vid Belec (APOEL), 16. Igor Vekic (Vejle).

Defenders: 2. Zan Karnicnik (Celje), 3. Jure Balkovec (Alanyaspor), 4. David Brekalo (Orlando City), 6. Jaka Bijol (Udinese), 13. Erik Janza (Gornik Zabrze), 20. Petar Stojanovic (Sampdoria), 21. Vanja Drkusic (Sochi), 23. Miha Blazic (Lech Poznan).

Midfielders: 5. Jon Gorenc Stankovic (Sturm Graz), 7. Benjamin Verbic (Panathinaikos), 8. Sandi Lovric (Udinese), 10. Timi Max Elsnik (Olimpija Ljubljana), 14. Jasmin Kurtic (Sudtirol), 15. Tomi Horvat (Sturm Graz), 22. Adam Gnezda Cerin (Panathinaikos), 24. Nino Zugelj (Bodo/Glimt), 25. Adrian Zeljkovic (Spartak Trnava).

Forwards: 9. Andraz Sporar (Panathinaikos), 11. Benjamin Sesko (Leipzig), 17. Jan Mlakar (Pisa), 18. Zan Vipotnik (Bordeaux), 19. Zan Celar (Lugano), 26 Josip Ilicic (Maribor).

No-one expected the call for Ilicic, whose last Slovenia cap came in November 2021. The 36-year-old has endured mental health struggles in recent years and left Atalanta by mutual consent in summer 2022, eventually landing at former club Maribor. Things have not been smooth for Ilicic ever since but a particularly glorious end to the season – three goals and seven assists from March onwards – has stirred his country.

Ilicic scored the winning goal in a pre-tournament friendly against Armenia on his return to the team as a substitute. Manager Matjaz Kek was happy to see his players emerge victorious after “a lot of suffering,” as: “It’s important to win such matches, and this team has already learned to win such a match. And that’s extremely, extremely good.”

Matevz Vidovsek, Zan Zaletel, Luka Zahovic and Miha Zajc were the final players to receive bad news, being cut from the 30-man provisional squad.

Romano Schmid (Werder Bremen), 19. Christoph Baumgartner (Leipzig), 20. Konrad Laimer (Bayern Munich), 22. Matthias Seidl (Rapid Wien), 24. Andreas Weimann (West Brom).

Forwards: 7. Marko Arnautovic (Inter),11. Michael Gregoritsch (Freiburg), 23. Patrick Wimmer (Wolfsburg), 25. Maximilian Entrup (Hartberg),  26. Marco Grull (Rapid Wien).

“Over the last weeks I’ve have had close exchanges with David,” manager Ralf Rangnick said of the injured Alaba, who will travel as a “non-playing captain”. Alexander and Xaver Schlager are both sidelined, too.

Rangnick, who also named a 12-strong stand-by list, added: “We have chosen the players with whom we believe we can bring the best football onto the pitch. We have added one or two more because we have to see how injuries that have occurred recently develop.”

Stefan Lainer was among those being monitored but he was not passed fit, leaving the squad along with Tobias Lawal and Thierno Ballo.

Randal Kolo Muani (Paris Saint-Germain), 15. Marcus Thuram (Inter), 20. Kingsley Coman (Bayern Munich), 25. Bradley Barcola (Paris Saint-Germain).

“He played a full season, albeit not in a European league, as he is in Saudi Arabia,” manager Didier Deschamps said of surprise recall Kante, who has not featured for Les Bleus since June 2022.

“He’s back to full fitness. With his experience, I’m convinced that the French team will be stronger with N’Golo Kante.”

Among the standout omissions are Michael Olise, Jean-Clair Todibo, Malo Gusto, Matteo Guendouzi, Christopher Nkunku and Jean-Philippe Mateta.

Oliwier Zych was named in the initial preliminary squad but withdrew due to injury and was replaced by Mateusz Kochalski, who was then cut along with Paweł Bochniewicz, Jakub Kałuzinski and poor Arkadiusz Milik, who was injured in the final warm-up game.

Group E (Belgium, Romania, Slovakia, Ukraine)

Who is in the Belgium squad for Euro 2024?

Final 25-man squad:

Goalkeepers: 1. Koen Casteels (Wolfsburg), 12. Thomas Kaminski (Luton Town), 13. Matz Sels (Nottingham Forest)

Defenders: 2. Zeno Debast (Anderlecht), 3. Arthur Theate (Rennes), 4. Wout Faes (Leicester), 5. Jan Vertonghen (Anderlecht), 6. Axel Witsel (Atletico Madrid), 15.  Thomas Meunier (Trabzonspor), 21. Timothy Castagne (Fulham), 25. Maxim De Cuyper (Club Brugge).

Domenico Tedesco has said all along that he will not consider Thibaut Courtois, despite the Real Madrid goalkeeper being fit enough to feature in and win the Champions League final. Axel Witsel is back after being convinced to return, despite announcing his international retirement last year.

A spot was left open and at one point it seemed youngsters Arne Engels or Mandela Keita would battle to fill it, but Tedesco confirmed “we have decided to go to the European Championship with 25” because of “group spirit” and not wanting to “disappoint a young player”. So he disappointed two instead.

World ranking: 3rd

Forwards: 7. Denis Alibec (Muaither), 9. George Puscas (Bari), 19. Denis Dragus (Gaziantep), 25. Daniel Birligea (CFR Cluj).

The uncapped Razvan Sava and Constantin Grameni were unexpected inclusions who were eventually cut for the final squad, while 24-year-old Birligea with his one appearance for the national team is included in some sparse attacking options.

There was no room for Cristian Manea or Vlad Chiriches. “Our hard work was based on trust, on consistency; every player understood that they had to give 200% – not 100%, but 200%,” manager Edward Iordanescu said.

Coufal and Kuchta have been restored to the squad after being left out when they were found to have ‘fundamentally violated the internal rules of the national team’ by drinking in a nightclub shortly before a Euros qualifier in November.

“I trust these players and hope they’re ready to fight for us to be successful,” said manager Ivan Hasek, who later lost key midfielder Michal Sadilek in a “big setback” less than a week before the tournament after he injured his leg in a bike accident. Sevcik was drafted in instead.

Ronaldo is unsurprisingly set for a record sixth European Championships, as part of what manager Roberto Martinez believes to be “a perfect mix of experienced and young players”.

Otavio was named in the initial squad but withdrew due to injury and was replaced by Nunes.

How sad it is not to see the name of the retired Burak Yilmaz in there. Caglar Soyuncu, Ozan Kabak and Enes Unal all withdrew from the initial 35-man squad due to injury.

Abdulkadir Omur, Cenk Ozkacar, Berat Ozdemir, Oguz Aydin, Can Uzun and Dogan Alemdar were all cut for the final squad; Yildirim was named in the initial squad, withdrawn and placed in the U21s, then named for the seniors again.
