The Euro 2024 finals draw takes place in Hamburg, Germany this evening with England, Scotland and Wales among the teams waiting to learn their fate.<\/p>\n

Gareth Southgate and Steve Clarke\u2019s sides are guaranteed a place in Germany after successful qualification campaigns, while Robert Page will hope the Dragons can negotiate the play-offs to book their place too.<\/p>\n

Germany football is in a peculiar place, with Julian Nagelsmann now in charge, and rising tension between the federation and the Bundesliga offers a strange dynamic to the build-up to next summer\u2019s tournament. The hosts will begin their bid for a fourth European crown, having last won the trophy on English soil at Euro 96, defeating Czech Republic 2-1 thanks to Oliver Bierhoff\u2019s golden goal.<\/p>\n

Follow live updates as each team learns their opponents and path to the final in Berlin on 14 July, plus reaction and analysis from our chief football writer Miguel Delaney in Hamburg:<\/em><\/p>\n

Why winless Iceland are in Euro 2024 play-offs and 10-point Norway are not<\/h3>\n

The Euro 2024 play-offs offer one last chance for European nations to reach next summer\u2019s major tournament in Germany. The three remaining spots will be contested by 12 teams in the play-offs in March, but how those dozen teams were decided is complicated, and contentious too.<\/p>\n

The 2022\/23 Uefa Nations League standings were used to select those 12 teams, with four each entering the play-offs from Nations Leagues A, B and C, setting up three paths to three different finals, for the chance to reach the Euros.<\/p>\n

By way of a reminder, each Nations \u2018League\u2019 contained four groups of four (other than League D, but let\u2019s not get bogged down in that now). So that\u2019s 12 groups in Leagues A, B and C, and each group winner received a pass to the play-offs. However, if a group winner made Euro 2024 automatically, through regular qualifying, the country in their Nations League with the next highest points tally would take up their play-off spot.<\/p>\n

Why winless Iceland are in Euro 2024 play-offs and 10-point Norway are not<\/h3>\n

Iceland flunked the Nations League while Norway flew, but only one have earnt a place in the Euro 2024 play-offs as result \u2013 and it\u2019s not Norway<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

England have qualified for Euro 2024 \u2014 now it\u2019s about winning it<\/h3>\n

The main fact of this 3-1 win was that England have qualified for Euro 2024, but the whole feel was why they should be talking about winning it rather than being too concerned any more with the formality of getting there.<\/p>\n

A historic major nation like Italy were just made look a minor inconvenience, as Gareth Southgate\u2019s side almost toyed with them. They were just so much better, and have a knowledge of that personified in Jude Bellingham. Harry Kane got two and Marcus Rashford scored a brilliant goal to make it 2-1, but all of that seemed mere detail to the main event, which was the Real Madrid midfielder\u2019s domination of the pitch and decoration of the play.<\/p>\n

This England era has now been going on for at least six years, but it is possible that Bellingham\u2019s emergence marks the beginning of something else. He has exactly the type of assurance that can turn fine challengers into elite champions. It is visible in everything he does, not least the outrageous touch for the Rashford goal that sent England to Germany for next summer.<\/p>\n

Uefa announces changes to Women\u2019s Champions League and second European competition<\/h3>\n

A new format for the Women\u2019s Champions League has been approved by the Uefa executive committee.<\/p>\n

There is currently only the Women\u2019s Champions League, which has 16 teams in the group stages, and there is no second-tier competition, while there are three men\u2019s competitions, all run by Uefa.<\/p>\n

The women\u2019s competition has also come under scrutiny recently for the qualification system, which saw Jonas Eidevall\u2019s Arsenal\u2019s European dreams come to an end at the hands of Paris FC on 9 September, less than three weeks after the Women\u2019s World Cup final.<\/p>\n

Arsenal had reached the semi-finals of the competition the year before, but struggled against the French side, before they exited the tournament on a penalty shootout.<\/p>\n

Euro 2024 draw arrives with a twist amid German football\u2019s rising tension<\/h3>\n

As legends like Gianluigi Buffon and Miroslav Klose start to decide what Euro 2024 will look like, most of its audience will be watching the Premier League and the other domestic competitions. That will of course change by June, but 5pm Saturday is a strange time for a draw, that maybe touches on the strange place both the competition and Uefa are in right now.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not even like this draw holds the anxiety supporters used to associate with such events for major nations like England. That isn\u2019t down to how good Gareth Southgate\u2019s team are right now, either. No matter what names come out, over half of the competition will be spent eliminating a third of the field. The 36-game group stage will see 16 teams out of 24 go through to the next round.<\/p>\n

It is literally harder to get knocked out. That has of course been the case for most of the qualification campaign, a problem when a competition has been so expanded. It almost feels like it would be better to just finally push the Euros out to a more symmetrical 32 teams and considerably shorten the way you get there. As it is, Buffon and Klose will almost be deciding another preliminary stage in Hamburg\u2019s Elbphilharmonie concert hall on Saturday. It should be acknowledged that Euro 2020 was immediately an entertaining tournament but it was still lopsided and it\u2019s hard not to put part of the emotion down to the fact it was one of the first major events with crowds after Covid.<\/p>\n
