Euro 2016 is just around the corner, with hosts France kicking off the tournament against Romania on Friday, in Paris. For the first time in the tournament's history, 24 teams will battle it out for the title of European champions, with plenty of mouth-watering football over the next month!
The home nation are expected to be firm favourites to clinch the title, who are looking resurgent after past failings in major tournaments, and will have the home crowd advantage. Defending champions Spain will be hoping to win for a third consecutive time, with Germany also in the mix to add the European title to their World Cup triumph, from two years ago in Brazil.
Underdogs such as Austria could be the dark horse of the tournament, and Belgium - who are currently ranked 2nd in the world - will be hoping to fulfil their potential on the big stage. It is certainly shaped up to be a cracking summer of football!
