The Finland Euro 2024 squad will come around sooner than you think, with Markku Kanerva's side in the play-offs for this summer's finals in Germany.
Finland made their major tournament debut at Euro 2020, where they narrowly missed out on a place in the last 16 after finishing third in their group.
To make it to Euro 2024, the Fins will have to see off Wales in the play-off semi-finals, before a final against either Poland or Estonia.

FAQs
How many players are Finland 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.
