According to CCTV5 program list (February 23, 2024), the European Cup is about to open this summer, which is a football feast and a battle of age. How is the age ranking of European Cup players calculated? What are the latest rules of FIFA? This article will answer these questions for you.

The ranking of players in the European Cup is based on the actual age of the players at the beginning of the game. That is, if a player has his birthday before the start of the game, his age will increase by one year. For example, Mbape of the French team was born on December 20, 2024. When the European Cup starts in 2024, his age will be 19, not 18.

The latest FIFA rule is that each team can register 26 players instead of the previous 23. This is to cope with the impact of the new championship epidemic and provide more personnel choices for each team. However, in each game, each team can only have 23 players in the squad, including 3 goalkeepers. The number of substitutions is still 5, but can be carried out within 6 periods, and the intermission is not included.

According to FIFA rules, each team must submit the final list of 26 players to UEFA at least 10 days before the start of the competition, that is, on June 1, 2024. If after that, a player is unable to participate in the game due to injury or COVID-19 infection, then another player can be replaced, but the replacement player must have registered before May 18, 2024. If a player is unable to participate in the game due to injury or COVID-19 infection after the start of the game, he cannot be replaced.

The following is the average age ranking of the European Cup teams. It can be seen that Italy is the youngest team, with an average age of only 24.5 years, while Iceland is the oldest team, with an average age of 29.8 years:

The age ranking of players in the European Cup is an interesting topic, which can reflect the style and characteristics of each team, and can also predict the future development of each team. The European Cup will be held in 12 European cities from June 11 to July 11, 2024. At that time, we will see a confrontation between youth and experience, speed and technology, passion and reason. Let's wait and see.
