Players from all 24 competing nations will hope to be named a Euro 2020 man of the match this summer.

As the name suggests, Euro 2020 was supposed to take place last year, but the coronavirus pandemic forced UEFA to postpone the tournament by 12 months.

The man of the match at Euro 2016 was decided by UEFA's technical observers after considering the nominees as voted for by EURO2016.com users.

France duo Antoine Griezmann and Dimitri Payet, Portugal pair Cristiano Ronaldo and Renato Sanches, Belgium forward Eden Hazard, Spain midfielder Andres Iniesta, and Switzerland’s Granit Xhaka were all named man of the match twice.

At Euro 2012, Iniesta and Italy’s string-puller Andrea Pirlo were voted as man of the match on three occasions.

We unashamedly love this game and we hope that our coverage reflects that.
