What are the pots for the Euro 2024 draw?published at 16:42 Greenwich Mean Time 2 December 2023
As usual in these sorts of draws the teams have been split into four different pots.
One team from each pot will make up a group. Hosts Germany are automatically assigned to Group A and position one, so they can play on the opening night, but the other 23 slots will be done via a draw.
Teams in each pot don't fill the respective slot in each group either, so England could be D4 and Scotland E1 for example, despite being in pot one and pot three respectively.
Pot 1: Germany (hosts), Portugal, France, Spain, Belgium, England.
Pot 2: Hungary, Turkey, Romania, Denmark, Albania, Austria.
Pot 3: Netherlands, Scotland, Croatia, Slovenia, Slovakia, Czech Republic.
Pot 4: Italy, Serbia, Switzerland, play-off winner A (one of Poland/Wales/Finland/Estonia), play-off winner B (one of Israel/Bosnia and Herzegovina/Ukraine/Iceland), play-off winner C (one of Georgia/Greece/Kazakstan/Luxembourg).
