UEFA is set to confirm nations will have 26-man squads for this summer’s European Championship in Germany.

A meeting of the European governing body’s national competitions committee voted in favour of the change, which is set to be ratified by the executive committee later this week.

UEFA had planned to revert to 23-man squads after allowing the three-man expansion for Euro 2020 due to the ongoing impact of Covid-19.

Expanded squads were also permitted at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar because it was played in the middle of the domestic season.
