UEFA confirm Belgium's Euro 2024 qualifier with Sweden will not be replayed

UEFA are set to increase squad size for this summer’s European Champions to 26 players.

This follows a vote on Monday, which gave the green light for expanded squads.

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.

However, the decision is not yet set in stone, as the UEFA executive committee (EXCO) needs to sanction the rule change – but it is expected that will simply be a rubber-stamping exercise.
