The 2024 European Championships are underway and the nation is once again gripped by football fever as we gear up for another major international tournament.
Whether it's World in Motion, Vindaloo or Three Lions that's your soundtrack this summer, we're all rooting for England to go one step further than their 2021 performance, when they were defeated by Italy on penalties in the final at Wembley Stadium.

The first challenge is the Group Stage, where the Three Lions will face Serbia, followed by a Euro 2020 semi-final rematch against Denmark, and finally Slovenia in Group C.
