The 10 men are wanted by the police in connection with the violent riots in the Euro 2020 final.
The Metropolitan Police issued an appeal for help identifying "people we think have questions that need to be answered.
The game in London last Sunday caused ugly scenes, including unticketed fans rushing into Wembley Stadium to try to watch the game between England and Italy.
The Met said in a statement that after the game, "officials began an arduous process, censoring hundreds of hours of CCTV and portable video content at Wembley Stadium and other key locations."
It added: 'The meticulous investigation will continue to identify further people of interest or indeed other offences which may have occurred
Anyone who can identify the people in the released images is urged to contact police.
Detective Sergeant Matt Simpson, from the Met's Public Order Crime Team, said: 'Following the scenes of disorder both at Wembley Stadium and in central London, we made a commitment that those responsible would face consequences.
'Today's action is being taken to help identify those who we think have questions to answer.
'If you know who they are, we urge you to get in touch as soon as possible.
'This investigation is in its very early stages and I am in no doubt that further appeals and arrests will follow.
'We also continue to support police action across the UK to identify those responsible for the racist and offensive comments posted on social media.'
Former Met deputy assistant commissioner Andy Trotter has described the thuggish behavior as 'a stain on our country's reputation'.
Current deputy assistant commissioner Jane Connors said the final could have been abandoned if police had not stepped in.
The racial abuse of some England players following the match also marred its aftermath.
It prompted the Government to announce it is changing the terms of the football banning order regime to cover online racism.
Since the final, five people have been arrested over their alleged social media posts.
As of June 13, 897 football-related incidents and 264 arrests had been recorded across the country in the 24-hour period surrounding the final, according to the United Kingdom Football Policing Unit.
