Between June 14 and July 14, 2024 dispute German Euro Cup, an event eagerly awaited by football lovers. Along the way, a doubt interrupts their dream, and especially those who choose. ?Are the calls for 23 or 26 players?
Well, according to the PA news agency, The National Team Competitions committee of continental football’s governing body has voted to increase the number of internationals on the EURO roster from 23 to 26. And this week is when the UEFA executive committee can approve the proposal.
It should be remembered that UEFA has given permission to teams to call up 26 football players to Euro 2020, as an aid mechanism to fight the COVID-19, which can leave teams without personnel at any time. Also considering that due to the time football was stopped in 2020 due to the pandemic, the 20-21 campaign was played with less rest than usual.
Those who choose in favor of having calls for 26
Ahead of the tournament being held on German soil, the option to continue with the 26-man roster has already received selectors’ approval at a pre-tournament workshop this month. At the end of the meeting, UEFA reported that the discussions were “excellent and positive.”
There the view of each coach was revealed, with some indicating the need to expand the squads to have more resources in the games, greater competition and thus better deal with injuries and physical fatigue. Others are unhappy with the fact that ego management and the distribution of minutes can be more complicated. However, those who see the option of bringing more players as a problem and not a solution, can mark themselves as “a Luis Enrique” and name fewer players than the maximum allowed.
Spain is in Group B, along with Croatia, Italy and Albania.
