UEFA has taken note of the various opinions and points of view shared, with a final decision to be made in the coming weeks UEFA “The positive discussions highlighted different points of view among coaches, with some expressing a desire to increase the squad size, with more choice available, the threat of injuries and the intense physical demands placed upon players. “UEFA has taken note of the various opinions and points of view shared, with a final decision to be made in the coming weeks.” Euro 2024 gets under way on June 14 when hosts Germany face Steve Clarke’s Scotland in Munich.
