Twenty four best teams in Europe are currently jostling it out at the 2016 European Championship in France.
The tournament which started on June 10 hasn’t lived below the hype, as it continues to provide fans with something different all the time.
As it is the case with many international competitions, players with African ancestry aren’t left out of the party – with Nigerians also adding up to the number.
With as much 323 players registered for the event, we take a lot at the performances of players who ditched the opportunity to represent the three-time African champions and instead are playing at the Euros.
