  WHAT HAPPENED?

  At the Euro 2024 draw ceremony, that was marred by bizarre sex noises being played in the background, England have been drawn against Denmark in a rematch of their Euro 2020 final in Group C and Scotland will begin the tournament against hosts Germany in Group A.

  Spain, Croatia, and Italy are in the so-called 'Group of Death' in Group B, with other heavyweight matchups including Netherlands and France in Group D, and Portugal and Turkey in Group F.

  The top two teams from a group go into the knockout stage and the best four third-placed nations will advance to the round of 16. Check out the full group-stage draw below, with the 21 qualified teams and three more waiting to join them through the play-offs.
