The Metropolitan Police released images of four men police they want to identify in connection to the disorder, urging anyone with information to come forward.
Three of the men are wanted in connection with assaults on emergency workers at Wembley Stadium on 11 July 2021, the force said.
Meanwhile, the fourth is wanted in connection with an assault on a member of the public in Trafalgar Square on the same day.
The pictures show all four men wearing white, with at least one wearing a football shirt.
Fans were left devastated at the time after losing to Italy on a penalty shoot-out.
However, the chaos began before the game, with rowdy fans having been seen clashing with police in the build up.
Crowds of ticketless visitors also attempted to storm the stadium, forcing Wembley to be briefly locked down.
An independent review into the disorder later found that it could have led to several fatalities after more than 20 "near-misses".
Anyone who can help officers identify the men are asked to call 101 quoting CAD 3224/23Sep. You can also tweet @MetCC.
