The Serbia Euro 2024 squad will come around sooner than you think, as Dragan Stoijkovic and co. hope to be involved at the finals in Germany.
While they've featured at four of the last five World Cups, Serbia haven'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 will be determined to qualify this time around – and to do it the easy way as group winners or runners-up.

FAQs
How many players are Serbia allowed to take to Euro 2024?
We don't know just yet – but expect 26.
It was announced that 26-player squads will return for the Qatar World Cup, an expansion from the usual 23-man teams.
