  16. 'True heroes' to receive president's awardpublished at 17:10 British Summer Time 26 August 2021

    Denmark captain Simon Kjaer and the medical team that saved Christian Eriksen's life are the recipients of this year's Uefa President's Award.

    Eriksen, 29, suffered cardiac arrest during Denmark's Euro 2020 defeat by Finland in Copenhagen on 12 June.

    Kjaer has been recognised for showing "exceptional leadership qualities" in his response to the situation.

    Uefa President Aleksander Ceferin said the recipients are "the true heroes of EURO 2020."

    As well as the draw, a number of awards will be given out tonight.

    Uefa President Aleksander Ceferin has made his way onto the stage to present the first award - the Uefa President's Award.

    "This is an award for special achievements," he says.

    "It's more than just a result on the pitch. It's something much wider and bigger."

  18. How does the draw work?published at 17:05 British Summer Time 26 August 2021

    One team from each pot goes into each group - but multiple teams from the same country cannot be drawn together.

    Countries with more than one team have their clubs 'paired' so one of them play on a Tuesday and the other on a Wednesday.

    If associations have four or more representatives, which is the case for Spain, England, Germany and Italy, then two pairings will be made.

    The 32 teams will be put into eight groups of four.
