24 teams, 622 players, a single competition: Euro 2024 started on June 14 with teams from all over the continent defending their vision of football and their national pool, each with their diversity and their particularities. The English site MyBettingSites published this Tuesday a study on the height and ages of players in the European Championship.
We learn that there is obviously an immense variety between the youngest player in the tournament, Lamine Yamal (16 years old), and the oldest, Pepe (41 years old), just as between the smallest player, the Scottish Callum Styles (1.67m) and the tallest, Serbian goalkeeper Vanja Milinković-Savić (2.02m).
The youngest team in the tournament is the Czech Republic, with an average age of 25,307, precisely three years younger than the oldest, Scotland (28,307). France, with an average age of 26.92 years divided between Warren Zaire-Emery (18 years old) and Olivier Giroud (37 years old), is slightly below the general tournament average, which is 27.09 years old. .
In terms of height, however, the Blues, who peak at 184.44 cm on average, are slightly above the general average (184.18 cm) and in 10th position in the ranking of the tallest teams in the tournament. Ranking dominated by Serbia, and its players who average 186.77 cm. At the other end of the ranking and 5 centimeters below, we find Spain (181.77 cm). According to the study, the average age of the winning teams of the Euro was 26.67 years, for an average height of 180.75 cm.
