EURO 2024 registers 26 players, what happened?
The European Football Federation (UEFA) has announced that EURO 2024 will return to registering each team with 23 players to compete as before.
However, this decision has faced criticism, causing UEFA to change and prepare a vote this weekend to approve teams registering 26 players as when affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. .
“It is likely that the decision to register 26 players per team to participate in EURO 2024 will be approved. Currently, most teams support the registration of 26 players, due to the pandemic in European tournaments. and many parts of the world have witnessed a significant increase in the number of injured players.
Like the English Premier League, the ongoing football season has seen a time when clubs had to suffer a storm of injuries from 10 to 15 players per team. The reason is because the competition density is too high, causing the players’ health to become more and more seriously depleted,” said journalist Ben Jacobs (USA).
If EURO 2024 allows 26 players to be registered, in the England team players who are playing excellently such as Ivan Toney, Anthony Gordon and Eric Dier will have the opportunity to participate.
