All aboard to Germany
England have learned who they will face in the group stages of Euro 2024 next summer.
The Three Lions booked their ticket to Germany with relative ease, taking 20 points from eight games and finished it off with a 1-1 draw against North Macedonia.
Gareth Southgate’s men were ranked as a top seed, meaning they avoided fellow heavyweights such as Germany and France as they go in search of their first trophy at a major international tournament since 1966.
24 sides will be at Euro 2024 while the remaining three nations will go through a play-off format to secure their place.
Drawn in Group A, they will face:
- Denmark
- Slovenia
- Serbia
England will face Serbia in their opening game on June 16 before facing Denmark in Frankfurt on June 20 and finish their group stage campaign against Slovenia, who are in the tournament for the first time since 2000, in Cologne on June 25.
Southgate’s side have been dubbed as one of the favourites to win the tournament and are expected to have one of the strongest squads in the competition, with names such as Jude Bellingham, Harry Kane, John Stones and co all likely to be on the plane.
