24 teams, including the defending champion Italy, who are in the “Group of Death” with Spain, Croatia, and Albania, will compete for the illusive crown at Euro 2024, which is scheduled to take place in Germany from June 14 to July 14 across ten different cities.

Berlin, Cologne, Dortmund, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Gelsenkirchen, Hamburg, Leipzig, Munich, and Stuttgart are the ten German cities that have been selected as the event locations.

Germany, grouped with Hungary and Switzerland in Group A, will open the competition on June 14 in Munich against Scotland.

There will be 24 teams competing in Euro 2024, split into six groups of four.

Here are all the groups and teams

Group A: Germany (hosts), Scotland, Hungary and Switzerland

The competition’s championship match is scheduled for July 14 in Berlin, the nation’s capital.

It should be mentioned that on July 12, 2021, at Wembley Stadium, Italy defeated England 3-2 on penalties in the Euro 2020 final after the game finished 1-1 in normal time and extra time.

The failure of Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, and Bukayo Saka to score from penalty spots put an end to England’s hopes of winning the European Championship.

Because COVID-19 caused all athletic events to be halted for 2020, Euro 2020 was held a year later.
