Well, UEFA will take its flagship event to Germany in two years’ time for the 17th edition of the competition. It will be the second time that the nation hosts the event and the first since reunification in 1990. West Germany held the tournament in 1988 and made the semi-finals.

Italy will look to defend their title at Euro 2024 after winning the first pan-European event at Euro 2020. The Azzurri beat England in the final held at Wembley for their second title after triumphing in 1968. Germany and Spain are the most successful nations with three titles.
