Fernando Santos has named his 25-man provisional squad ahead of the tournament in Poland and Ukraine.
 
The biggest surprise is the omission of APOEL's Dionisis Chiotis. The experienced goalkeeper made the cut last week, as Santos unveiled his call-ups for foreign-based internationals, but left him out on Thursday in order to include Ari's Michalis Sifakis.
 
Panathinaikos attacking midfielder Lazaros Christodoulopoulos and PAOK striker Stefanos Athanasiadis were also left out, even though both appeared to be in Santos' plans, having played in Greece's friendly against Belgium on February 29.

Instead, Santos turned to Atromitos forward Kostas Mitroglou, who had been frozen out during the qualifiers, but whose stellar season prompted a return. There was also a place for veteran striker Nikos Liberopoulos.
 
No Panathinaikos defender made it into the list as both Loukas Vyntra and Nikos Spiropoulos were omitted.
 
On May 29 Santos will name the final Greece squad from the Austrian town of Kitzbuhel, where the Euro 2004 champions will have their pre-tournament base camp and play friendly games against Slovenia (May 26) and Armenia (May 31).
