EURO 2020 DRAW TODAY

Sun Dec 02, 2018 10:15 am

How does the draw work?

Here is as simple an explanation for the draw as (we think) possible:

55 competing nations will be drawn into 10 groups: five groups of five teams and five groups of six.The teams will be seeded based on their Uefa Nations League ranking.The four winners of Nations League A - England, Portugal, Holland and Switzerland - will go into groups A-D for qualifying, thus guaranteeing them a five-team group and so an empty week in an international break in which to contest the Nations League finals.The remaining six Pot One teams will fill the first spots in groups E-J, and then each group will be assigned a team from Pots Two-Five. Groups F-J will also have a Pot Six team in them.

Euro 2020 qualifying seedings

Uefa Nations League pot: Switzerland*, Portugal*, Netherlands*, England*

Pot one: Belgium, France, Spain, Italy, Croatia, Poland

Pot two: Germany, Iceland, Bosnia-Herzegovina*, Ukraine*, Denmark*, Sweden*, Russia, Austria, Wales, Czech Republic

Pot three: Slovakia, Turkey, Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland*, Norway*, Serbia*, Finland*, Bulgaria, Israel

Pot four: Hungary, Romania, Greece, Albania, Montenegro, Cyprus, Estonia, Slovenia, Lithuania, Georgia*

Pot five: Macedonia*, Kosovo*, Belarus*, Luxembourg, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Gibraltar, Faroe Islands

Pot six: Latvia, Liechtenstein, Andorra, Malta, San Marino

*teams who have already guaranteed a play-off spot by winning their Nations League group.

Some restrictions:

No more than two of the 12 host nations can be in any one group, allowing for the possibility that they all qualify for the tournament.Certain nations, such as Ukraine and Russia, and Spain and Gibraltar cannot be drawn together for political reasons.A maximum of two nations considered at risk of severe winter conditions - Belarus, Estonia, Faroe Islands, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Russia, Ukraine - can be put in each group.Team with excessive travel distances will be placed with only one team that is considered too far from them.

Must be the most complicated draw in history! We can play you but if drawn against you we can't and so forth and so forth! :o

That’s not the easiest group, we could lose to all those teams

Hopefully, we will be in the top 2 but it’s not going to be easy

As long as our main players are injury free, we should get through.
