25/01/2024 18:01
England and Scotland will be busy studying their Euro 2024 group stage opponents having learnt which teams they will face following December’s draw in Hamburg.
Gareth Southgate’s side have been drawn in Group C alongside Slovenia, Denmark and Serbia, whilst Scotland have been placed in Group A with hosts Germany, Hungary and Switzerland.
The Three Lions, featuring their star-studded squad, will be looking to go one step better than the runners-up spot they had to settle for in the last edition of UEFA’s premier competition, where they were edged out in a penalty shootout by Italy at Wembley.
Steve Clarke’s Scotland, meanwhile, will be desperate to reach the knockout stages of a major tournament for the very first time in their history.
Here is everything you need to know about Euro 2024, with thousands of fans set to make the trip across the continent to cheer on England and Scotland.

The 2024 edition will be the first Euros to be held in a single country since France hosted the competition in 2016, with Euro 2020 staged across 11 nations to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the European Championship.
