UEFA is soon to make an important decision to increase the number of players per team to 26

Could coach Julian Nagelsmann summon more players than expected for EURO 2024? UEFA does not exclude the possibility of increasing the number of players per team to 26 and promises to make the final decision in the near future.

Hot news about the possibility of increasing the number of summoned players for EURO 2024 is stirring up the fans. In a recent meeting with the coaches of the 24 participating teams, UEFA heard many contrasting opinions on this crucial issue.

Germany’s coach Nagelsmann proposed a flexible solution: allowing each team to register a maximum of 26 players, but can summon less if they want. He supports a slim 23-man squad to avoid situations where many players are dissatisfied due to lack of playing time. However, the 36-year-old strategist also understands the reason for supporting the increase to 26 players.

Coaches Murat Yakin (Switzerland) and Ralf Rangnick (Austria) also agreed with Nagelsmann’s “flexible” plan. Previously, the Dutch coach Ronald Koeman called for an increase to 26 players after losing 1-2 to Germany at the end of March.

At EURO 2021, teams were allowed to summon 26 players due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. At the 2022 World Cup, the dense schedule in the middle of the season was also a reason to relax regulations. Will UEFA apply this “new standard” to EURO 2024?

The final decision will be announced by UEFA in the coming weeks. This is an important issue, directly affecting the preparation plan and tactics of the teams. Let’s wait for the “verdict” from the most powerful body in European football!

With the participation of the strongest European teams according to Fifa rankings such as France (2) – England (3) – Belgium (4) – Netherlands (6) – Portugal (7) – Spain (8) – Italy (9) – Croatia (10) and bright stars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Kylian Mbappé, Harry Kane, Romelu Lukaku to promising young talents, Euro 2024 promises to bring high-level and dramatic matches.

EURO 2024 will take place in Germany from June 14 to July 14, 2024 in 10 cities in Germany with 24 participating teams. The teams are divided into 6 groups to select the top 12 teams, and the 4 third-placed teams with the best performance earn a ticket to the knockout round.
