It’s less than 48 hours until Euro 2016 begins with the meeting of France and Romania at the Stade de France.

Over the next month, we will see 24 teams and hundred of players in action in France.

Recent winners of the UEFA Player of the Tournament award include:

  • Xavi (Spain 2008)
  • Theodoros Zagorakis (Greece 2004)
  • Zinedine Zidane (France 2000)
