Hosts Germany will look to triumph on home soil at Euro 2024 this summer.

The three-time European champions have underperformed at recent major tournaments, exiting the last two World Cups in the group stages and only reaching last-16 of Euro 2020, where they lost to England at Wembley three years ago.

But Julian Nagelsmann will be out to revive the spirits of the home nation and recent victories over France and the Netherlands in friendly matches was a sign that Germany will be among the contenders for the title this summer.

Scotland, Switzerland and Hungary await in Group A, with Germany kicking off the Euros against the Scots in Munich on June 13.

Nagelsmann’s squad has been bolstered by Bayer Leverkusen’s remarkable unbeaten Bundesliga triumph, with star Florian Wirtz named player of the year in the German top-flight.

The 21-year-old star adds to a number of national team stalwarts who remain from Germany’s World Cup triumph in 2014, with Thomas Muller and Manuel Neuer joined by the returning Toni Kroos, who is back from international retirement.

*Julian Nagelsmann named a 27-player preliminary squad on 16 May. This must be cut down to at least 26 players, including three goalkeepers, by the 6 June deadline.
