How does the EURO 2024 draw work?
The 24 teams are distributed into four pots of six teams. The teams yet to qualify – which will be confirmed through play-offs – are mentioned through indicator tags.
Host Germany is seeded in Pot 1 but is not drawn as they are automatically allocated to Group A. The three eventual play-off winners have been assigned to Pot 4.
One team is picked from each pot in a way that each of the six groups has four teams each for the group stage.
