Can England end 58 years of hurt?
England fans across the country are hoping this is finally the year the men’s team triumph for the first time since the 1966 World Cup.
Gareth Southgate’s men went agonisingly close at the last Euros, losing to Italy on penalties in the final on home soil at Wembley.
They will hope to use that heartbreak as fuel to go one better this time around but while they possess a wealth of talent, they know they are not short of competition to be crowned champions.
Who else are among the favourites?
France – 2018 World Cup winners and 2022 finalists – provide the biggest threat, with captain Kylian Mbappe looking to celebrate his move to Real Madrid with his first Euros triumph.
Hosts Germany have endured a tough couple of years but look to be on the up again under Julian Nagelsmann and, as they often do, are likely to be able to turn it on when it matters.
Elsewhere, Spain possess a talented squad under Luis de la Fuente and share the record for the most titles won (three).
Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo will hope to lead 2016 winners Portugal to further glory in what will be his SIXTH European Championship.
