Hosts Germany favourites, France, England and Spain next
EURO 2024 hosts Germany are favourites to win the tournament next summer.
That's according to bookmakers Ladbrokes, who've installed Hansi Flick's side at 5/1 to be victorious on home soil.

But there's precious little in it at the top with a host of top nations vying for the big prize.
The qualification process makes it almost inevitable that the big countries will once again battle it out.
World Cup runners-up France are second in the betting at 6/1 to go one better than they did in Qatar.
Kylian Mbappe has been named the new French captain by Didier Deschamps and that big tournament experience for their young crop could well prove hugely helpful.
Then it's England and Spain locked together at 7/1.
Gareth Southgate's men have a tough away trip to Italy as their tournament qualification opener.
With Ukraine, Malta and North Macedonia also in their group, the games against the Italians look set to determine the finishing spots in Group C.
Italy are 9/1 to defend the trophy they won at Wembley in 2021.
Portugal (10/1), Belgium and Netherlands (both 12/1) are other live contenders - with Denmark bigger still at 20/1.
Home nations Wales (100/1), Ireland (200/1), Scotland (200/1) and Northern Ireland (500/1) all face a battle to qualify.
