Every Euro 2024 team – ranked

24 teams qualified for Euro 2024, but only one can lift that famous trophy in Berlin on 14 July.

For some, Euro 2024 will be a party. The more unlikely qualifiers are travelling to Germany with a glimmer of hope, but the opportunity to play at a major international tournament with millions watching across the world is the real motivation.

For others, only victory counts. The tournament favourites will be expected to deliver on the big stage regardless of form or recent history, with nothing but the victor’s cup satisfying Europe’s elite nations.

Somewhat surprisingly, this will be Slovenia’s first Euros since 2000. Despite boasting the likes Atletico Madrid stopper Jan Oblak and exciting RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko, they aren’t expected to make a big splash in Germany.

Being drawn into a group with England and Denmark – sides that reached the semis or further at Euro 2020 – isn’t a great start, with Slovenia having never reached the knockout stages of a major tournament.

Romania are more regular qualifiers for major tournaments than Slovenia, but they are one of the few sides heading to Germany without a notable…
