Out of the 24 teams competing in Euro 2016, they’ve been separated into six Euro 2016 groups — from Group A through Group F. Six of the teams were seeded (France, England, Germany, Spain, Belgium and Portugal) while the remaining 18 teams were drawn into their respective groups.

Euro 2016 is arguably the most prestigious and competitive international soccer tournament in the world — even better than the World Cup. The tournament brings together the best teams in Europe featuring World Cup winners Germany, Spain (winners of the World Cup in 2010 and Euro 2012) as well as perennial giants Italy and France plus dark horse Belgium. With such a great tournament to look forward to, we’ve compiled Euro 2016 team previews, schedules and other helpful resources.

All 24 national teams in Euro 2016 are ranked among the top 45 teams in the FIFA World Rankings.

The last three FIFA World Cup champions – Italy (2006), Spain (2010) and Germany (2014) – join other 21 Union of European Football Associations’ (UEFA) national teams to vie to become the footballing champions of Europe. Two-time defending champion Spain seeks to be the first country to win four European titles, after becoming the first to repeat in 2008 and 2012.
