How many nations, and who, were in the draw?

As 24 nations will be at next summer's Euro 2024 tournament, 24 balls were in Saturday's draw. However, those 24 balls effectively contained the names of 33 nations!

This is because 21 nations have already qualified, and a further 12 nations will compete in a trio of play-off paths early next year for the three remaining places.

Already qualified:

Albania, Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Romania, Scotland, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey

Can qualify via play-offs:

Path A: Estonia, Finland, Poland or Wales
Path B: Bosnia, Iceland, Israel or Ukraine
Path C: Greece, Georgia, Kazakhstan or Luxembourg

Was the Euro 2024 Finals draw seeded?

Yes. The 24 qualifiers (21 nation names plus Play-off winner A, B, C) were split between four pots, with each pot containing six balls.

As Germany are the hosts, they were automatically seeded as a Pot 1 nation, and assigned to position A1 of Group A.

The five remaining Pot 1 nations were drawn one after another and placed into Groups B, C, D, E and F respectively, with a draw to determine the position in that group also taking place.

Then we moved on to Pot 2. The six nations were drawn one after another and placed in group order - A to F - followed by a draw to determine their position in the group. And then the same for Pot 3 and Pot 4.

The four Pots were:

Pot 1: Germany (Group A1), Portugal, France, Spain, Belgium, England
Pot 2: Hungary, Turkey, Romania, Denmark, Albania, Austria
Pot 3: Netherlands, Scotland, Croatia, Slovenia, Slovakia, Czech Republic
Pot 4: Italy, Serbia, Switzerland, Play-off A, Play-off B, Play-off C

So who did England get drawn against?

England were the second ball out of Pot 1 and therefore put into Group C in position four. They were drawn against Denmark from Pot 2, Slovenia from Pot 3 and Serbia from Pot 4.

Scotland will open the tournament against hosts Germany after being drawn in Group A with the hosts, Hungary and Switzerland, while should Wales win their play-off path they will be in Group D alongside Netherlands, Austria and France.

Euro 2024 Finals Groups in Full:

Group A: Germany, Scotland, Hungary, Switzerland
Group B: Spain, Croatia, Italy, Albania
Group C: Slovenia, Denmark, Serbia, England
Group D: Play-off Winner A, Netherlands, Austria, France
Group E: Belgium, Slovakia, Romania, Play-off Winner B
Group F: Turkey, Play-off Winner C, Portugal, Czech Republic

What is England's route to the final?

England commence their Euro 2024 Finals campaign on 16 June against Serbia in Gelsenkirchen before facing Denmark four days later in Frankfurt and then Slovenia in Cologne on 25 June.

Gareth Southgate's men will be strong favourites to top Group C and should they do so then they will play the third-place finishes from either Group D, E or F. which means a Round of 16 clash with Wales is a possibility should Rob Page's men make it to the Euro 2024 finals.

England's quarter-final opponents - assuming they top Group C - will be the runners-up from Group A or B, meaning a potential clash with Scotland, or some recent major tournament enemies in the shape of Croatia or Italy.

Should the groups go to form then England's semi-final opponents will be France or Belgium should they top Group D and E respectively, while if the other half of the draw goes to FIFA rankings, then it will be Portugal in the final, though Germany and Spain are also likely to figure prominently in that side of the draw.
