The Serbia Euro 2024 squad will be announced a matter of months from now, with manager Dragan Stoijkovic in the process of fine-tuning his team for the tournament in Germany.
While they've featured at four of the last five World Cups, Serbia hadn't qualified for the Euros since 2000 (as FR Yugoslavia) – where they made the quarter-finals and Savo Milosevic finished as joint top scorer.
After agonisingly missing out on a place at Euro 2020 by losing to Scotland on penalties in a play-off, Serbia finished second in their group to qualify automatically for Euro 2024. There, they'll face England, Denmark and Slovenia in Group C.
Their latest round of internationals saw them face Cyprus and Russia in friendlies, winning the former 1-0 and losing the latter 4-0 (albeit down to 10 men for most of the game).
As with every team at the tournament, FourFourTwo will bring you all the latest on Serbia as we report live from the European Championship.

FAQs
How many players are Serbia allowed to take to Euro 2024?
UEFA confirmed in February that each competing nation will be able to name a final squad of 23 players in their Euro 2024 squads, including a mandatory three goalkeepers.
After a couple of tournaments featuring 26-player teams, UEFA have now reverted from the expanded squad.
National managers were allowed to bring 26 players to 2021's European Championship for the first time at a major tournament, as a special measure brought in due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the fixture congestion, the expanded squads returned for the World Cup. Without those same issues, 23-player squads have made a return.
