Captain Luka Modric will be featuring in his ninth major international tournament, with a number of his veteran teammates also likely to be playing in their swansong competition.

Despite a disappointing run of recent from, and injury concerns hanging over key members of their squad, England should make relatively light work of their group with the likes of Italy, France and Belgium standing between them and a place in the final.
France

Georgia finished fourth in qualifying, but their performances in the Nations League saw them granted a play-off berth.
The Black Sea country secured their spot at their first ever major tournament as an independent nation with a penalty shootout win over Greece. Napoli star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia will undoubtedly be one of the players to watch at Euro 2024.
Germany

Germany, who qualified automatically as hosts, parted company with former manager Hansi Flick in September 2023 after just four wins in 17 matches.
Results have still been mixed under Julian Nagelsamnn, who is in charge until the end of the tournament, but they still possess the quality to win their first European Championship for 28 years.

Hungary gave a decent account of themselves at Euro 2020, registering two draws in a group consisting of France, Germany and Portugal, but that ultimately wasn’t enough to stop them finishing bottom of the pile.
Italy

Having dispatched Estonia 5-1 in the play-off semi-final, the Poles edged out Wales on penalties following a 0-0 draw after extra-time to qualify for their fifth consecutive major tournament.
Portugal

Manager: Roberto Martínez
Star player: Cristiano Ronaldo
Fixtures: Czechia (June 18), Turkey (June 22), Georgia (June 26)
Best result: Winners (2016)
Portugal were the only team to finish qualifying with a perfect record, winning all ten of their games with 36 goals scored and just two conceded in the process.
Now managed by former Belgium manager Roberto Martinez, Portugal will be hoping for a fairytale send-off for Cristiano Ronaldo, who will be playing in his 11th – and surely last – major international tournament.

Steve Clark guided Scotland to second place in their qualifying group to make it back-to-back European Championship appearances, and their latest Euro adventure sees them kick-off against Germany in the opening fixture.
Scotland, who will have to make do without a number of key stars through injury including Bologna midfielder Lewis Ferguson, have never qualified from their group at a major tournament and their attempts to put their sorry record to bed will most likely be determined by the crunch clashes against Switzerland and Hungary.

Remarkably, Serbia will be competing in their first European Championship since 2000, despite having participated in four World Cups in the meantime.
Serbia were runners-up in the competition in 1960 and 1968, when they competed as part of Yugoslavia, and this generation of team is packed full of talent such as Dušan Vlahović, Sergej Milinković-Savić and former Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrović.

Luis de la Fuente, who was appointed in 2022 to replace Luis Enrique after Spain were knocked out in the World Cup Round of 16, will be hoping to guide his country to a record-breaking fourth Euros title.
