The big kick-off to Euro 2024 is not far away.
This summer’s tournament in Germany starts on June 14 with the hosts’ opener and culminates in the Berlin final exactly a month later.
The field is wide open, too. Germany are unfancied despite their home advantage with defending champions Italy not exactly on a great run of form since lifting the trophy at Wembley three years ago, having missed the World Cup.
France are expected to be a major force once again, led by Kylian Mbappe, while Spain, Portugal, Croatia and the Netherlands can never be counted out at this level.
Of course, Gareth Southgate’s England will be among the favourites having cruised through qualification and looked like serious contenders at the last three major tournaments. Jude Bellingham, Harry Kane and Co are all at the top of their game as the Three Lions look to end their 58-year wait for silverware.
A dark horse or two also tends to pop up at the Euros. Perhaps Turkey, Scotland and Hungary are best placed to upset the odds this summer.
Once again, the 24-team tournament is split into six groups of four. The top two of each group qualify automatically for the last-16 and the four top-ranked third-placed finishers will join them.
