Euro 2020 draw: the groups

Netherlands against Germany is the big match for Euro 2020 qualifiers. The draw in Dublin has defined the ten qualifying rounds for Euro 2020. 42 football nations will play between March and November 2019, with the winner and runner-up of each group going through directly.

Euro 2020 draw

The qualifying process is condensed because of this year’s Nations League group games, with England and Scotland guaranteed a Euro 2020 play-off place – should they fail to qualify via their regular qualifying group – after winning their Nations League sections.

Wembley will stage both the semi-finals and the final of Euro 2020, as well as three group games and a last-16 match. Glasgow’s Hampden Park and Dublin’s Aviva Stadium will each host three group games and a last-16 match.

Group C is the most difficult. The Republic of Ireland had initially been drawn in Group C but they were moved to Group D because the group already contained two of the 12 host nations for Euro 2020.

These are the groups:

Group A: England, Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Montenegro, Kosovo. Group B: Portugal, Ukraine, Serbia, Lithuania, Luxembourg. Group C: Netherlands, Germany, Northern Ireland, Estonia, Belarus. Group D: Switzerland, Denmark, Republic of Ireland, Georgia, Gibraltar. Group E: Croatia, Wales, Slovakia, Hungary, Azerbaijan. Group F: Spain, Sweden, Norway, Romania, Faroe Islands, Malta. Group G: Poland, Austria, Israel, Slovenia, Macedonia, Latvia. Group H: France, Iceland, Turkey, Albania, Moldova, Andorra. Group I: Belgium, Russia, Scotland, Cyprus, Kazakhstan, San Marino. Group J: Italy, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Finland, Greece, Armenia, Liechtenstein.
