Almost any lens can meet that need depending on your shooting conditions.

1. Are the people going to be in a straight line 10 across or a clustered group?

2. Indoors or out? In other words how much light?

3. What will the background be? How much distance between the subjects and background?

4. Do you have any lenses now? Which one(s)?

In addition to what John just asked... What is your budget?  That will make a big difference in what we recommend.  What is affordable to some people is not always affordable to others, so just give us a general idea on what you would like to spend, please.

I can cut to the chase and belay all the what ifs, ands, and buts. Buy the 24-70mm f2.8L and you will have a lens that will do 80% of all your photographic needs. No matter what. Add a nice tele zoom to round out the package.

At this point I'm in "humour mode", so an RF 400mm F2.8L IS USM and a big open space with plenty of distance between the subject and the background 😁
