Spain won the European Championships in 1964, 2008, and 2012. They will be aiming for a fourth title this summer.

Nearly a decade on from Spain's third consecutive tournament victory in 2012, their squad has gone through a dramatic rebuild.

Only Sergio Busquets remains from the side that won the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, and a new crop of Spanish players have the country dreaming once again.

Despite falling short in their last three major tournaments, Spain's manager Luis Enrique -- in his second spell in charge -- has voiced his confidence that his country could win their fourth European Championship title.

The national side were unbeaten in qualifying and thrashed Germany 6-0 in November in the UEFA Nations League.

Even without Sergio Ramos in defence, Spain can now call upon Manchester City's Aymeric Laporte, after his change of nationality was approved by FIFA in May.
