By achieving a solid success in the Euro 2024 qualifiers, the France team will be part of the seeded hat during the draw for the tournament. This in no way guarantees him an easy group…
Unlike the World Cup, which uses the Fifa Ranking, the draw for the next European Nations Championship will be based on the results of the teams during the qualifiers for the competition which are currently taking place. The UEFA coefficient for national teams has no longer existed since 2017. We will thus quickly know the 4 hats of 6 selections for the draw scheduled for December 2 (6 p.m.) in Hamburg.
The French team is so far flawless, with a 5th victory in as many matches, obtained against Ireland (2-0) on Thursday. The reigning world vice-champions are close to an easy qualification, but they will have to finish in style to be in the seeded hat. This will allow them to avoid Germany, the host country, as well as 4 other seeds. And according to the projections of We Global FootballPortugal, England, Belgium and Switzerland would complete hat 1.
Whatever happens, great nations of the Old Continent will not have this “protection” during the draw and, always according to We Global Football, the Netherlands, Spain and Italy are all set to appear in the 3rd hat! Hat 2 would offer a quality opponent but nothing insurmountable for Kylian Mbappé and his teammates, who were eliminated on penalties by Switzerland in the round of 16 of the last Euro, in 2021.
The final hat will be made up of the three qualifiers who obtained the fewest points during the qualifiers as well as the three winners of the play-offs (3 Final Four which will only be played in March 2024).
The top 3 hats according to We Global Football projections:
Germany, Portugal, England, France, Belgium, Switzerland
Scotland, Hungary, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Serbia
Netherlands, Spain, Austria, Italy, Finland, Poland
