UEFA Euro 2024 Group Stage Draw Unveils Exciting Matchups

The highly anticipated draw for the group stage of the 2024 UEFA European Football Championship took place today in Hamburg, Germany, setting the stage for a thrilling summer of football. England, the runners-up at Euro 2020, find themselves in the midst of a competitive Group C alongside familiar foes Denmark, Slovenia, and Serbia.

Gareth Southgate’s England squad, boasting a perfect qualifying record, will be seeking redemption against Denmark, the team that eliminated them in a dramatic fashion during the Euro 2020 semi-finals. The campaign kicks off for England on June 14 at the Allianz Arena in Munich against Slovenia.

The host nation, Germany, will open the tournament against Steve Clarke’s Scotland in Group A on June 14 in Munich. Switzerland and Hungary complete the lineup for Group A. Meanwhile, Group B presents a challenging scenario for reigning European champions Italy, who will face off against three-time winners Spain, 2018 World Cup finalists Croatia, and Albania.

The final three spots in the tournament will be determined in March during the playoffs. Wales, aiming for a third consecutive Euros appearance, must navigate past Finland and potentially face Estonia or Poland to secure their place. The Euro 2024 final is scheduled for July 7, 2024, at Berlin’s iconic Olympiastadion.

As the countdown begins with less than 200 days to go, the 16th edition of the UEFA European Championship promises to be a thrilling and fiercely contested tournament.
