Germany will host the European Championships this summer with an official teddy bear mascot known as Albert
Euro 2024 is the 17th UEFA European Championship almost there.
Italy are the defending champions, having won Euro 2020 (held in 2021 due to the Covid pandemic) by beating England on penalties at Wembley.
England and Scotland confirmed their places at this year's Euros during the qualifying stages. Wales agonizingly missed out on qualification after losing on penalties in the play-off final against Poland.
UEFA has approved a call to increase the Euro 2024 squad from 23 to 26 after lobbying from national coaches, including England boss Gareth Southgate, who is concerned about player burnout and injury. Southgate will first select a long list of players he will look at for the final two warm-up games, before whittling it down to the final unveiled squad on June 7.
There has also been fury and ridicule over the official Topps Euro 2024 sticker album after UEFA's decision two years ago to drop Panini as a trading partner. Several England stars were left out of this summer's album, but Wales players are present despite not qualifying.
