These 20 teams also qualified: Belgium, France, Portugal, Scotland, Spain, Turkey, Austria, England, Hungary, Slovakia, Albania, Denmark, Netherlands, Romania, Switzerland, Serbia, Czech Republic, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia. Play-offs were held in March 2024 to decide the last three places: Georgia, Ukraine and Poland. [Russia](https://www.topendsports.com/events/soccer/uefa-euros/countries/russia.htm) was banned from competing. ## Group Stages The group stage serves as the initial phase of the tournament. The format of group stages was similar to [Euro 2020](https://www.topendsports.com/events/soccer/uefa-euros/hosts/2020.htm). It consisted of the 24 national teams divided into six groups of four teams each. > Group A: Germany, Scotland, Switzerland, Hungary > Group B: Spain, Italy, Croatia, Albania > Group C: England, Denmark, Serbia, Slovenia > Group D: France, Netherlands, Poland, Austria > Group E: Belgium, Romania, Slovakia, Ukraine > Group F: Portugal, Türkiye, Czechia, Georgia ## Group Format During this stage, each team played three matches against the other teams in their group, following a round-robin format. Teams were awarded three points for a win, one point for a draw, and no points for a loss. The top two teams from each group automatically advanced to the knockout stages, along with the four best third-placed teams across all groups. After the group stage, there was a round of 16, quarterfinals, semifinals and a final. During the knockout phase, if the scores were level after the normal time finishes, teams played 30 minutes of extra time and a penalty shoot-out at the end. ## Tickets To The Tournament The Euro 2024 tournament ran from June 14 to July 14. Qualified federations and the UEFA itself oversee both sales phases. Tickets sold out very fast. For those looking for tickets, the advice was to visit the UEFA’s ticket portal frequently to keep tabs on the options. If you wanted to buy tickets in the secondary market, there are websites like StubHub, Viagogo and [EventsCompare](https://eventscompare.com/). Typically, tickets started at €50 for semi-final matches, and upwards of €1,000 for the finals. ## Results In the semi-finals, Spain defeated France 2–1, and England defeated The Netherlands 2–1. [Spain](https://www.topendsports.com/events/soccer/uefa-euros/countries/spain.htm) secured a record fourth European Championship title with a 2-1 victory over [England](https://www.topendsports.com/events/soccer/uefa-euros/countries/england.htm). ## Trivia - West Germany previously hosted the event in 1988, also some games were played in Germany in the European-wide tournament of 2021. - The tournament returned to its usual four-year cycle in 2024, after the [2020 edition](https://www.topendsports.com/events/soccer/uefa-euros/hosts/2020.htm) was postponed until 2021 due to the pandemic. - Nine of the ten stadium venues for Euro 2024 were used for the [2006 FIFA World Cup](https://www.topendsports.com/events/worldcupsoccer/hosts/germany/index.htm). - Unlike recent years, there was no tie-breaker in place for the [Golden Boot Award](https://www.topendsports.com/events/soccer/uefa-euros/goal-scorers.htm). Subsequently, the award was shared among six players with 3 goals each. If the previous tie-breaker rules were in place, the winner based on the most number of assists was Dani Olmo.
