EURO 2024: Serbia names final 26-man squad for European Championship
Serbia coach Dragan Stojkovic announced his final 26-man squad for the European Championship on Tuesday.
Fenerbahce midfielder Dusan Tadic will captain the squad. The 35-year-old playmaker will be joined by Al-Hilal forward Aleksandar Mitrovic, Serbia’s record goal-scorer, who netted five times during the qualifiers.
Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic is another player who could have a big impact on Serbia’s progress at the final, having scored 16 goals in 33 outings in Serie A.
