  • Germany will host the European Championships between June 14 and July 14
  • 21 out of 24 teams have already qualified for the competition's 2024 edition
  • Georgia could make history if they beat Greece and qualify for the tournament

With the Africa Cup of Nations concluding earlier this year, all eyes now turn to Euro 2024.

The continental competition takes centre stage in June and July, and the groups are all but finalised.

With 21 of the 24 teams already booking their place in the tournament, Sports Brief explores who could take the remaining three spots and what each group would look like when that happens.

Which teams are in the play-offs?

Six teams are still in the running for the remaining three places at Euro 2024, including a side that has never qualified for it before.

Georgia will look to make history by qualifying for a European Championship for the first time but will have to get past Greece to do so.

The Greeks surprised many when they won the tournament in 2004 and will be looking to enjoy another deep run in the competition twenty years later. The two sides will meet in play-off C.

In play-off A, two giants of European football will meet when Wales take on Poland. Wales beat Finland 4-1 to book their place in this fixture, while Poland won 5-1 to earn their spot.

In play-off B, Iceland and Ukraine will battle it out for a spot in the tournament. The game will be contested in Poland due to Russia’s continued illegal invasion of Ukraine.
