Portugal

Portugal upset the odds when they were crowned European Champions in 2016.

The squad hasn’t changed much since their success in France and Cristiano Ronaldo is in ominous form as ever.

Spain

Following a period of dominance after Euros successes in 2008 and 2010, with World Cup glory in 2012, Spain are looking to put the disappointment of the last World Cup behind them.

The squad’s rebuild will conclude with Andres Iniesta retiring after the tournament, as Spain hope to show that they can be a force on the world stage once again.

Morocco

Morocco are ranked 42nd in the world but could cause problems for Portugal and Spain.

Hakim Ziyech, who won Dutch Footballer of the Year after his impressive season at Ajax, is the tricky playmaker tasked with unlocking defences.

Iran

Iran defied all expectations when they qualified for the 2014 World Cup, almost getting a draw in the group stages against Argentina, but for a last minute Lionel Messi winner.

Manager Carlos Queiroz will be a familiar face to English football fans, after his spell as assistant manager of Man United alongside Sir Alex Ferguson.
