This summer’s Euro 2024 will see one brand new set of players get their hands on the iconic Henri Delaunay Trophy.
And the victorious team will join an illustrious list of previous European Championship winners, which includes some of the most iconic players and teams in the game.
England will start the tournament as one of the favourites, aided by a favourable draw, with a squad packed full of enviable fire power including Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham and Bukayo Saka.
But they will face competition from the usual cast of contenders, such as Spain, France and hosts Germany, who will all be eyeing the title themselves.
Who has won the most Euros in history?
Spain and Germany are the two most successful countries in the history of the Euros, with three titles apiece.

Germany first claimed the top prize in European football in 1972, when they competed as West Germany, with two goals from the legendary Gerd Muller helping them to a 3-0 victory over the Soviet Union in Belgium.
A second title was added at Euro 80, with a brace from Horst Hrubesch seeing West Germany edge Belgium 2-1 in the final in Rome.
Germany won their first trophy as a unified country at Euro 96, famously knocking out England on penalties in the semi-finals before beating the Czech Republic at Wembley.
Spain’s first title arrived at Euro 64, with La Roja triumphing 2-1 over the Soviet Union on home soil.
Spain’s golden generation kick-started their period of international dominance with victory at Euro 2008, with Fernando Torres scoring the only goal of the final against Germany.
Having won the World Cup two years later, Spain made it a hat-trick of major titles by claiming a 4-0 win over Italy in the showpiece in Kyiv.
