This article is part of our UEFA EURO 2024 series.
Below is a list of expected penalty and set-piece takers for each team at UEFA Euro 2024 in Germany.
We've compiled every possible penalty and set-piece taker for each country. While every team may have a top penalty taker, there's no guarantee that player will play 90 minutes every match or even start all three in group stages, hence the need for two options in most cases.
We'll be updating this article throughout the tournament and are including corners taken in parentheses after each player's name. To start, the players are listed from left to right in order of most likely to take a penalty or set piece.

I graduated from Wisconsin Dells High School and attended University of Wisconsin-Madison for one year. I support all Wisconsin sports teams, with UW-Madison athletics being the highest of my priorities while the Green Bay Packers are not trailing far behind. My whole life revolves around soccer and the highest tiers of competition in the sport. When it comes to my favorite team, there is only one thing I can say: Manchester bleeds blue. I am also a huge fan of combat sports, with wrestling holding a special place in my heart, as I truly think it is the most underrated sport in America.
