In total, Harrod Sport's goals will be used for 31 matches across the tournament (more than half of the 51 fixtures) including the opening game, the semi-finals and the final, as well as England v Scotland and Italy v Wales.
Read on to find out more about the goals, the venues and for your chance to win a set of Finesse goals.
Around the grounds
With so many matches taking place, here is a short guide to the venues that will be using Harrod Sport goals during the tournament.
Wembley Stadium - London (8 matches)
Since the 'White Horse' FA Cup final of 1923, the goals at Wembley Stadium have become a part of English football folklore. In 1966, the crossbar became iconic with Geoff Hurst's 'goal that never was' in the World Cup final versus West Germany. In 1977, Scotland took the bragging rights as the Tartan Army swarmed onto the pitch to celebrate after the final whistle following a famous 2-1 victory.
The last time England and Scotland met at a major tournament was at Wembley in the Euro '96 group stages, best remembered for Paul Gasgoine's goal and celebration. Twenty-five years later, will Andy Robertson and Che Adams' side be able to upset the auld enemy?
Harrod at Wembley
Harrod Sport has a rich history of supplying goalposts for Wembley Stadium, stretching back to 1996 when England last hosted the European Championships.
But it is not just international football - Harrod Sport have supplied goals for every game played at Wembley Stadium in the last 25 years,, including the FA Cup and Carabao Cup finals, the Championship play-offs and both the 2010-11 and 2012-13 Champions League Finals.
