How did the competition work?
With Germany automatically qualifying as hosts, a further 20 places for Euro 2024 were awarded to teams that passed the qualification process, as winners or runners-up of the 10 groups.
The last three places for Euro 2024 will be contested by twelve teams based on their performance in the 2022/23 UEFA Nations League. The play-offs will be held in March to reduce the number of twelve teams to three finalists, of course from those who did not qualify for the event through the first route.
The qualified teams were allocated to one of four pots (1, 2, 3, 4) before the draw, based on their results in the qualifying group stage. Host nation Germany has been drawn into pot one, but was not drawn as they are automatically drawn into Group A.
