The UEFA Euro 2024 will be the most important event of the summer with 24 national teams looking for glory. Of course, there seem to be clear favorites like France or England, but, many surprises could take place from June 14th to July 14th.

Cristiano Ronaldo leads an extraordinary roster with Portugal, Italy are finally back in a major tournament and Germany as hosts could hoist the trophy for the first time since 1996.

Spain, Croatia, Denmark, Belgium and Turkey could be some of the possible surprises. Furthermore, the UEFA Euro might be crucial to determine the winner of the next Ballon’ d’Or.
