Who are some of the top stars expected to play at Euro 2024?
Kylian Mbappe will lead France at Euro 2024, its first major international tournament since the 2022 FIFA World Cup, which it lost in penalties to Argentina. France is stacked with world-class talent at every position, but especially in the attack with names like Antoine Griezmann, Olivier Giroud, Ousmane Dembele and Randal Kolo Muani.
England will be looking to avenge its loss in the Euro 2020 final with a title-winning run in 2024, and it has reason to believe it can do it with one of the most in-form players in world soccer, Jude Bellingham. The 20-year-old will be the centerpiece of a group that already includes household names such as Harry Kane, Marcus Rashford and Bukayo Saka.
Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to star for Portugal at Euro 2024 after a disappointing run at the 2022 World Cup. The only other players over 35 years old that are likely to have prominent roles for their countries are Croatia’s Luka Modrić, Germany’s Manuel Neuer and Giroud.
Premier League stars Kevin De Bruyne and Virgil van Dijk will also be at the tournament.
