It looks like an open competition, with England, France and Portugal all having an excellent shot of hoisting the Henri Delaunay Trophy. Never write off the Germans, either, especially on home soil, while Scotland showed in qualification that they’re not to be underestimated and will hope to get out of their group at a major finals for the first time in their history.

In this issue, we focus on both home nations involved at the Euros, cast our eye over the hosts and sit down to chat with Portugal and Manchester United defender Diogo Dalot. Euro 2012 winner Juan Mata also answers your questions about his career, including scoring in the final, and if that isn’t enough, there’s a 52-page guide on all 24 teams, plus tips on who could win the Golden Boot and even a giant wallchart. Enjoy the mag and the tournament.

To help you get even more in the mood for it, this month's magazine is accompanied by a 52-page preview. It's packed full of profiles on all 24 teams, an overview of the 10 stadia in Germany, the Golden Boot candidates and 24 reasons why Euro 2024 will be awesome.
