🌎 Euro 2020 groups in FULL

Here's what next summer's tournament is starting to look like!

The top two in each of the 10&nbsp;Euro 2020 qualifying&nbsp;groups automatically&nbsp;advance to the tournament, making for 20 participants. The four remaining places, then, are determined through the play-offs&nbsp;. Theoretically, the four group winners will participate each Nations League's play-offs. Whereas in previous editions of the Euros where play-off participants were determined by their performances in the qualifiers, this year&nbsp;they will be decided&nbsp;based on their standings in the&nbsp;UEFA Nations League. The play-offs will take place in&nbsp;March 2020&nbsp;. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/news/euro-2020-play-offs-matches-teams-nations-league/1vd42kb7x2jj51sw2fqs1uy4rv" target="_blank">We've got everything you need to know about it for you here.</a>

🤔 How do the Euro 2020 play-offs work?

We still won't know the full roster of participating teams until March 2020.

Why is&nbsp;Euro 2020&nbsp;being held across 12&nbsp;venues?&nbsp;Rather than hosting the tournament in just one host nation, UEFA have spread the venues across all of Europe to celebrate the competition's 60th anniversary. FIFA President Gianni Infantino explained: "instead of having a party in one country, we will have a party all over Europe in the summer of 2020."&nbsp; Euro 2020 format:&nbsp;Euro 2020 will feature 24 teams following UEFA's decision to expand the number of participants from 2016. The format for the final tournament will be the same as its predecessor Euro 2016, meaning that there will be six groups comprised of four teams. As with Euro 2016, the winner and runner-up in each group, as well as&nbsp;the four best third-placed sides progress to the round of 16. Where is the Euro 2020 final?&nbsp;Both rounds of the semi-final and the final will be held at Wembley Stadium in London.
