As UEFA EURO 2020 qualifying comes to a close, take a look at the runners and riders

Wednesday 20 Nov 2019
Wembley Stadium will host seven games at EURO 2020, including all of England's group games

The UEFA EURO 2020 qualifying groups were all concluded this month, with 20 nations all confirmed as finalists at next summer's tournament.

With Groups A to J now finalised, the nations who finished top and second in each of the ten groups secured their places in the Finals, which will take place in 12 cities across Europe next June.

Gareth Southgate's Three Lions ensured their place in the EURO after last week's 7-0 victory over Montenegro before completing their fixtures with a 4-0 win in Kosovo on Sunday.

The other groups rounded-off their fixtures across Monday and Tuesday, with all eyes now focused on the draw for the Finals which takes place on the evening of Saturday 30 November in Bucharest.

Following our success in qualifying, it’s been confirmed by UEFA that all three of England’s group games at the tournament will be played at Wembley Stadium.

Harry Kane's hat-trick helped England to secure UEFA EURO 2020 qualification against Montenegro at Wembley in November

Any of the 12 host nations to qualify for EURO 2020 will be placed into the group where their home city is staging matches. As such, England will be placed in Group D with matches at Wembley on Sunday 14 June, Friday 19 June and Tuesday 23 June.

There's still another four nations to join the competition, with the play-offs taking place next March and the draw for those ties taking place on Friday 22 November. Among the nations who could still reach the Finals are the likes of Scotland, Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland and Kosovo, who finished in third spot in Group A.

And with the pots for the draw confirmed by UEFA on Wednesday, England are among the top seeds in Pot One and will take on a nation from each of the other pots in their group stage. 

Pot 1: Belgium, Italy (hosts), England (hosts), Germany (hosts), Spain (hosts), Ukraine

Pot 2: France, Poland, Switzerland, Croatia, Netherlands (hosts), Russia (hosts)

Pot 3: Portugal, Turkey, Denmark (hosts), Austria, Sweden, Czech Republic

Pot 4: Wales, Finland, play-off winner A, play-off winner B, play-off winner C, play-off winner D

As we start to look towards the draw later this month, here's a brief lowdown on the nations who we'll definitely be seeing in action next summer.
