EURO 2024
The German national team will face Hungary, Scotland and Switzerland in the group stage of EURO 2024. This is the result of the draw which took place on Saturday evening at the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg. The DFB selection opens the tournament in Munich against the Scots and enters Group A as favorites.
The Scots will be the first opponents of national coach Julian Nagelsmann’s DFB selection at the Munich Arena on June 14, who was unable to fly to the draw in the north due to the arrival of winter in the south.
The national team will face Hungary on June 19 in Stuttgart and the German group stage final will take place against Switzerland on June 23 in Frankfurt/Main. The goal for all teams is the final at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin on July 14. The lottery fairies were Gianluigi Buffon, Steve McManaman, Angelos Charisteas, Brian Laudrup, Tomas Rosicky, Ricardo Quaresma, Blaise Matuidi, Wesley Sneijder, Sami Khedira and David Silva.
Nagelsmann’s team is in a bad mood again after the disappointing matches in November against Turkey (2:3) and in Vienna against Austria (0:2). Preparations for the European Championship will not continue until March, with test matches against the Netherlands and France. “The truth will come this summer,” DFB sporting director Rudi Völler said on Friday.
21 of 24 tickets awarded: European Championship participants based on current team value
Nagelsmann had great difficulty getting there due to heavy snow: all flights to Munich airport were canceled. So the 36-year-old got in the car in the morning and arrived in Hamburg on time. However, his assistant coaches Benjamin Glück and Sandro Wagner did not travel. Völler and association president Bernd Neuendorf had already arrived before Saturday in Hamburg as important representatives of the European Championship host.
Playoffs for EURO 2024: which teams still have a chance of securing a ticket to the European Championship?
Twelve nations will fight for the three open starting spots in the playoffs in March 2024. There are no more arithmetic games and “if-then” constellations; the game is played on a knockout system only. In Path A Poland, Wales and Estonia are certainly represented, the fourth team has yet to be determined by draw.
In Path B Israel and Bosnia and Herzegovina definitely play. THE Path C is already completed and includes Georgia, Greece, Kazakhstan and Luxembourg. All qualifier participants will be determined in spring 2024 based on the results of the Nations League and will then play three semi-finals (March 21) and three finals (March 24) to participate in UEFA EURO 2024.
In what mode will EURO 2024 be played in Germany?
The EURO 2024 tournament will be played in the same format as EURO 2020. Among the six groups in the preliminary round, the top two groups and the best four third-placed teams will qualify for the round of 16. The quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals will then be played in a knockout system. The EURO 2024 final will take place on July 14, 2024 at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin.
331 million euros in prize money at EURO 2024
Winning the 2024 European Championship final in Germany alone is worth 8 million euros. The executive committee of the European (Site notre blog d’information) Union (UEFA) approved on Saturday the payment of bonuses for next summer’s tournament, before the draw. In total, the association pays 331 million euros, as much as during the last Corona European Championship in 2021.
The 24 participants in the European Championship receive a starting bonus of 9.25 million euros, and 1.5 million euros are provided for qualification for the round of 16. Whoever reaches the quarter-finals will receive an additional 2.5 million euros. 4 million euros goes to the semi-finalists, 5 million euros to the losing finalist. Each group match won brings in an additional 1 million euros, each draw 500,000 euros. In the best case scenario, the European champion will receive a total of 28.25 million euros in UEFA bonuses.
It is not yet clear what bonuses the German (Site notre blog d’information) Association will pay to the national team. German players at the 2021 European Championship would have each received a prize fund of 400,000 euros if they won the title. The selection of Joachim Löw, then national coach, ended in the round of 16.
