Teams will be allowed to select a 26-player squad instead of the usual 23 at this summer’s European Championship.
The change has been implemented to lessen the load on players after a club season compressed because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The decision, taken by Uefa’s national teams committee on Monday, will be subject to ratification but is not expected to meet any opposition.

Uefa’s ruling executive committee will be responsible for ratifying the decision later this week.
A rule allowing each team to make up to five substitutes per game has already been confirmed.
The tournament, which had been scheduled to take place last summer, begins on 11 June. The deadline for submitting squads is 1 June.
