UEFA has proposed to increase squad size for this summer’s European Champions to 26 players.
This development was carried in vote on Monday, further paving way for expanded squads in the championship.
The idea was first brought up during a meeting of all the nations’ coaches in Dusseldorf a fortnight ago.
But at a meeting of the UEFA national competitions committee on Monday, delegates voted in favour of increasing the squads from a 23-player limit to 26.

Enlarged squads were used at Euro 2021, to help teams cope with the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The decision is yet a proposal and the UEFA executive committee (EXCO) needs to sanction the rule change. It is however expected to have a smooth sail through.
