Euro 2024
England
Looking for revenge after the heartbreak of Euro 2020, England shape up as one of the tournament favourites.
France
France topped Group B of the qualifiers with 22 points and a goal difference of +26, going unbeaten.
Georgia
Georgia finished fourth in Group A behind fellow finalists Spain and Scotland as well as Norway but claimed a ticket to the big time via the playoffs.
Denmark
After the trauma felt during Euro 2020 and the disappointment of the 2022 World Cup, Denmark are ready to bounce back after a comfortable qualification campaign proved they still have plenty of bite.
Germany
As hosts, Germany did not participate in the qualifiers for the tournament. It’s the first time they have hosted the competition since West Germany hosted in 1988.
Hungary
Hungary secured their place at Euro 2024 in style – they went unbeaten with five victories and three draws in their eight games and finished top of their group for the first time in qualifying history.
Italy
Off the back of a rollercoaster period for the Azzurri which saw the highest of highs and the lowest of lows, the Italians return to the European Championships as holders – a title dulled by the Azzurri’s absence at the 2022 World Cup after failing to qualify.
Netherlands
It was hardly plain sailing for the Dutch. A 4-0 defeat against France left the Netherlands chasing qualification for the rest of the campaign and in a two-horse race with Greece, they claimed a pivotal 1-0 victory in Athens to secure a ticket in the next game against the Republic of Ireland.
Poland
Poland left it late to secure qualification to this summer’s European Championships, progressing by way of penalty shootout versus 10-man Wales back in March.
Portugal
Portugal breezed through the qualifiers to win every single match of their campaign for the first time.
Romania
After failing to qualify last time round, Romania’s participation was impressively achieved with an unbeaten run of six wins and four draws.
