England, Scotland, Spain, France, Portugal, Turkey, Belgium and Austria all secured their places at Euro 2024 in the latest round of qualifying fixtures. Here, the PA news agency takes a look at what still to be resolved in November and the play-offs. Group A Scotland and Spain have both qualified for the finals, but top spot remains up for grabs. Spain head to Cyprus and then host Georgia, while Scotland face a trip to Tbilisi before welcoming Norway to Hampden Park – where the Tartan Army are expected to revel in a Euro 2024 qualification party. Georgia are set to go into the play-offs based on their Nations League ranking as a group winner. Norway are one of several countries who will have to wait on all the other results to see if they can make the cut as one of 12 teams split through three paths. Group B While France have qualified automatically for the finals as group winners, the Netherlands still have work to do. The Dutch edged past Greece with a stoppage-time penalty from captain Virgil van Dijk on Monday night – and victory over the Republic of Ireland in Amsterdam will secure a top-two finish. Greece, though, could also still reach Euro 2024, having already been assured of a place in the play-offs. Indeed because of UEFA’s complex weighted system based on overall Nations League rankings, the Republic are still not theoretically out of the running to be involved in the play-offs in March – and could even see their slim hopes boosted by a loss in Amsterdam on November 18 if other results also fall into place. Group C England’s 3-1 win over Italy at Wembley on Tuesday night saw them qualify with two matches left. Italy are third, but qualification remains in their own hands if they can beat North Macedonia. The Azzurri would then edge out Ukraine to the runners-up spot should they go on to avoid defeat in the final group game between the two countries in Leverkusen on November 20. Italy are also assured of place in the play-offs should it be needed. Group D Turkey have secured qualification, but the race to join them looks set to go to the wire. Wales will if they beat Armenia in Yerevan and Croatia suffer an unexpected defeat away to Latvia. Armenia, though, are still not out of the mix, sitting just three points behind Wales and Croatia with two games left. Qualification could all hinge on the very last round of fixtures – which sees Wales host Turkey in Cardiff and Croatia play Armenia in Zagreb on November 21. However, Croatia are assured of at least a play-off spot if they do not qualify automatically. Group E In another tight group, leaders Albania, the Czech Republic, Poland and even Moldova can all still qualify. Albania will qualify if they avoid defeat by Moldova in their next match or if Poland – currently third and with just one game left – beat the Czechs. An away win in Warsaw, though, would see the Czech Republic qualify if Moldova do not beat Albania. Moldova have two games left, which they realistically would need to win to keep in the qualification mix. Despite being bottom of the table with just one point from seven games, the Faroe Islands could yet find themselves in the play-offs depending on other results. Group F Austria and group leaders Belgium have both qualified. Belgium’s game against Sweden at the King Baudouin Stadium on Monday night was abandoned at half-time after two people were shot dead in Brussels. It has yet to be confirmed whether the fixture will be replayed. Azerbaijan are not theoretically out of play-off contention, while bottom side Estonia are the top-ranked team from Nations League Group D. Group G Leaders Hungary – who have Barnsley midfielder Callum Styles in the squad – missed the chance to qualify after having to recover to draw 2-2 in Lithuania. However, a point in their next match away to Bulgaria would see them through, as would Montenegro not beating Lithuania. Second-placed Serbia will qualify if Montenegro fail to win on November 16 or they themselves beat Bulgaria in their last game. Bottom side Bulgaria have slim play-off hopes, but Serbia are secured a spot if they need it as one of the Nations League group winners. Group H Slovenia, who beat Northern Ireland in Belfast on Tuesday night, and Denmark are in the driving seat to qualify, sitting four points clear of Kazakhstan. A win in Copenhagen for either team on November 17 would see them through, as would San Marino getting an unlikely positive result against Kazakhstan. Finland will go into the play-offs, which is also the likely route for Kazakhstan. Group I Switzerland’s fightback with two late goals to draw 3-3 against Belarus left them second in the table, a point behind leaders Romania having played a game less. Israel – assured of at least a play-off spot – are four points adrift, and have their rearranged match with the Swiss on November 15. Switzerland will qualify if they win their next two fixtures, while Romania will if the Swiss lose in Tel Aviv and they themselves then beat Israel on November 18. Romania are set to host Switzerland in the final round of fixtures, while Israel’s postponed match against Kosovo has still to be rescheduled. Group J Portugal qualified for the finals as runaway group winners with a 100 per cent record so far through eight games. Slovakia will also qualify with a match to spare if they avoid defeat against Iceland. Luxembourg are five points behind, so look likely to go into the play-offs along with Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Bid leaders have promised Euro 2028 will be accessible and affordable after UEFA officially awarded the tournament to the UK and Ireland. The five-nation bid was formally approved on Tuesday, having gone into decision day unopposed following the withdrawal of Turkey. Politicians including British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak hailed the announcement, with the tournament set to bring £2.6billion in benefits to the host economies, according to analysts. Football Association chief executive Mark Bullingham said it was vital that the tournament be open to as many people from the five nations as possible. Ten venues in nine cities were included in the final bid document submitted to UEFA in April – Wembley, the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the Etihad Stadium, Villa Park, Bramley-Moore Dock, St James’ Park, Hampden Park, the Aviva Stadium, a redeveloped Casement Park and the Principality Stadium. Along with fan-zone sites and training grounds in other locations, Bullingham said the task was to ensure no-one feels cut off from the action, regardless of location or financial means. It is critical that the whole country feels they are involved and we have that excitement throughout every part of the country Mark Bullingham “You’ve seen the selected stadia are spread throughout the whole of the country, so everyone has an event within touching distance,” he said in Nyon on Tuesday. “It is critical that the whole country feels they are involved and we have that excitement throughout every part of the country.” Bullingham confirmed all five countries would enter qualification, with UEFA having reserved two ‘safety net’ places for any that miss out. Tickets for Euro 2024 start at 30 euros (£26) and, asked about how important it was to ensure affordability, Bullingham said: “We will absolutely always do that. “We want the whole country to be engaged and experience being part of the Euros.” Football Association of Wales chief executive Noel Mooney said hosting a major championship in the country was “pure gold” and revealed that the bid proposal was for Cardiff’s Principality Stadium to host the opening match, subject to UEFA approval. Mooney said: “Cardiff would be perfect for the opening match. Look, we could be greedy and say we’d love the final as well, but then you’re denying 15 to 20,000 people the chance to be at a final. “I think the way we’ve done the stadiums is very, very good. We’re hoping to get a quarter-final as well. “The association’s job is to grow the game, to promote the game, to get more boys and girls involved, that’s our job. To have a major championship come to our country for the first time is pure gold.” Mooney added that the proposal was for Wembley to host the semi-finals and final as things stood. Bullingham said the awarding of Euro 2028 to the UK and Ireland vindicated the decision by the five nations to turn away from the 2030 World Cup. The countries had originally scoped out the feasibility of hosting the 2030 finals, but switched focus in February 2022. At the time Bullingham had spoken of the “uncertainty” surrounding a bid for the global event. FIFA announced last week that a proposal for a three-continent, six-nation hosting of 2030 had been approved by its Council, opening the door for Saudi Arabia to likely stage the following tournament in 2034. Asked whether he felt that was evidence the UK and Irish FAs had gone down the correct path, Bullingham said: “We have never doubted we made the right decision. “We were choosing between two tournaments, one we felt we had a really good chance of winning, one we felt we at best would have been a real long shot to win. “We chose to go for 2028 and we are delighted we did. We think the announcement helps vindicate the decision and we think we will put on a brilliant tournament that will make a massive impact on all parts of the country on our facilities, on the economic impact on the country, on fans and the feel-good factor. “So we are delighted we have secured the tournament.” Sunak, who had been at England’s training base at St George’s Park on Tuesday, welcomed UEFA’s announcement, saying: “I grew up with Euro 96 being one of the most amazing memories of my childhood. “And we have a chance to do that all over again for lots more people, just like we did last year with the Lionesses. “We host tournaments better than anyone else. It’s going to be a massive boost for the economy. “We’re going to welcome millions of people to the country and it’s going to inspire a whole new generation.” Read More Wales say Dan Biggar is fit for World Cup quarter-final against Argentina Garry Cook vows to make Birmingham ‘a powerhouse’ amid Wayne Rooney reports Catalans win in Grand Final would ‘make huge noise around the world’ – McNamara A closer look at the UK and Ireland’s host venues for Euro 2028 A closer look at the UK and Ireland’s host venues for Euro 2028 James Ryan and Mack Hansen injury doubts for Ireland against New Zealand
