Euro 2024 Qualifiers: Status Update and What’s Needed for Final Qualification

Italy, reigning kings of European football, triumphed over England at the prestigious Wembley Stadium in the last Euro 2020 final.

Both England and Scotland have punched their tickets to Euro 2024, but the race for the remaining slots is heating up as the qualifying rounds draw to a close.

Wales finds itself in a tense position after a 1-1 stalemate in Armenia this past Saturday. To secure their Euro 2024 dream, they must now conquer Group D’s top dog, Turkey, in Cardiff come Tuesday. Additionally, they’re crossing fingers for Croatia to stumble in their match against Armenia.

It’s curtains for Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland in their quest for Euros glory this time around.

Euro 2024 in Germany will be a grand affair with 24 teams competing. While the hosts have an automatic in, 20 more teams will make the cut through the qualifiers, with nine already securing their berths.

The final trio of slots will be decided in nail-biting play-offs involving 12 teams, chosen based on their Nations League performances from 2022-23.

Drama is in the air as Italy is yet to assure their spot, and Erling Haaland’s Norway can only hope for a play-off miracle. Mark your calendars – the draw is set for December 2.
