In Hamburg, Germany, the Euro 2024 draw has determined that hosts Germany will play against Scotland in the opening match of the tournament. The Germans, who have won the tournament three times, will begin the one-month event in Munich on June 14, with the final match scheduled for July 14 at Berlin’s Olympic stadium.
The draw took place at the Elbphilharmonie concert hall in Hamburg, one of the 10 host cities for the tournament. The hosts qualified automatically, and 20 teams advanced through the European qualifiers. Three teams are yet to be determined and will be decided through playoffs in March.
The top two teams in each of the six Euro 2024 groups will move on to the round of 16, along with the four best third-placed finishers in the group stage.
The draw was reported by Karolos Grohmann, Trevor Stynes and Aadi Nair, with editing done by Ed Osmond.
