Euro Tournament Structure

The next European Championship will take place in 2024 – in Germany! After the “summer fairy tale” at the home World Cup in 2006, the DFB team is hoping to win the title in their own country this time. As the host, the team of national coach Hansi Flick automatically qualified for the tournament. The German players can relax and follow the drawing of the qualifying groups next Sunday, October 9th.

It took place on October 9, 2022, at 12 noon in Frankfurt am Main. 53 teams wanted to qualify for the finals in Germany. Russia has been suspended by UEFA over the war of aggression in Ukraine and will therefore not be in the pots either. In a total of ten groups, the fight for participation in the EURO 2024 schedule tournament will finally take place. There will be three groups of six and seven groups of five.

Awards

On Tuesday, March 21, the “Mundodeportivo” newspaper said on its official website, that the European Football Association (UEFA) has allocated large financial prizes for the winners of the first places in the Euro 2024 Championship, which will be hosted by Germany.

And the Spanish newspaper confirmed that the European Football Association has allocated 331 million euros, which will be distributed to the participating teams, an increase of 59% over the previous tournament, Euro 2020.

Impact of EURO 2024 Schedule on Teams, Leagues, Players

For the first time in the history of European competitions, UEFA and the 10 host cities are planning a volunteer program for around 16,000 volunteers. There are more than 25 areas in which you can work voluntarily.

Both UEFA and Germany attach great importance to climate protection at Euro 2024. For example, to reduce distances for spectators and teams as much as possible, teams and matches during the group qualifying phases were divided into regional groupings in the south (Frankfurt, Munich and Stuttgart) and the west (Dortmund and Düsseldorf). Frankfurt, Gelsenkirchen and Cologne) and the North/East (Berlin, Hamburg and Leipzig).

It is not possible to know the players who will participate in the tournament until shortly before its start. On the one hand, the teams of these stars should qualify, and on the other hand, they should not suffer any injuries. A number of the biggest stars, such as Argentine Lionel Messi and Brazil’s Neymar, will certainly not participate because their teams are not members of UEFA. But the good news is: Euro 2024 matches can be watched on TV all over the world.

Shortly after the end of the EURO 2024 schedule, the Olympic Games in Paris will start on July 26. It will last until August 11th. On August 28, the Alternative Olympics tournament will also start in Paris, which will last 12 days and should not be confused with the Special International Olympics in Berlin.

Betting on the Euro
