The Multicultural Championship, by online bookmaker NetBet, celebrates this by tracking the origins of all 552 players in the tournament, reports,www.fcbusiness.co.uk

166 players selected to represent their home nation can trace their heritage elsewhere, including England captain Wayne Rooney and Harry Kane.

Both could have played for the Republic of Ireland through grandparental and parental descent respectfully, while five players in Roy Hodgson's squad have close ties with Jamaica.

In total, 12 of England's squad have foreign ancestry, the fifth most diverse in the competition.

It's the host nation which represents the most diverse nation however, with 65% of the French squad having roots elsewhere, 11 of those hailing from Africa.

Perhaps most interesting are the Swiss and Albanian squads, both of whom have multiple players eligible for both, potentially fielding as many as six players with Swiss connections.

A representative from NetBet said, "We're really proud of the map, to us it really helps show how the Euro's, and international football as a whole, is an incredible tool which brings countries and culture together time and time again. France 2016 will be an amazing show of diversity and celebration. We're thrilled to be involved."
