The Euro 2024 groups have been drawn, with England and Scotland finding out their groups, with Wales also discovering who they will play if they win the play-offs. Here's all you need to know about the summer's tournament...
The draw took place on Saturday December 2, where England and Scotland found out their groups having automatically qualified for the finals in Germany.
Meanwhile, Wales will take part in the play-offs in March of next year, and discovered who awaits them in the finals should they qualify.
Germany are the host nation for next summer's tournament. West Germany hosted the tournament back in 1988, but this will be the first time Germany has staged the European Championship since reunification.
In total, 24 teams will qualify through the results of the European Qualifiers which run until November 2023, and via play-offs scheduled for March 2024.
21 of the 24 teams are now known, with only the three teams to progress from the play-offs still to be determined.
Group A - Germany, Scotland, Hungary, Switzerland
Group B - Spain, Croatia, Italy, Albania
Group C - Slovenia, Denmark, Serbia, England
Group D - Play-off winner A (Potentially Wales), Netherlands, Austria, France
Group E - Belgium, Slovakia, Romania, Play-off winner B
Group F - Turkey, Play-off winner C, Portugal, Czech Republic
Wales have been drawn to host Finland in the semi-finals of the qualification play-offs for Euro 2024. The match will take place on Thursday, March 21 at Cardiff City Stadium.
Should Rob Page's men win that single-leg tie, they would then host either Poland or Estonia five days later at the same venue to play for a spot at next summer's tournament in Germany.
Just three of the 24 places at Euro 2024 remain up for grabs, with Wales attempting to navigate Path A of the play-offs.
In Path B, Israel face a semi-final against Iceland following Thursday's draw at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, while Bosnia and Herzegovina will host Ukraine.
Georgia take on fellow potential tournament debutants Luxembourg in Path C, while Kazakhstan travel to 2004 European champions Greece in the other semi-final of that route.
The play-off semi-finals and finals will be played between March 21 and 26, 2024.
Euro 2024 will take place from June 14 to July 14 2024.
The draw for the tournament will be in Hamburg on Saturday December 2.
As the host nation, Germany are seeded in Group A and will occupy position A1, meaning they will play in the opening match in Munich, at the Allianz Arena on Friday June 14.
The final will take place at the Olympiastadion in Berlin on Sunday July 14.
The 10 host venues are as follows:
Ticket applications for Euro 2024 opened on October 3 through the tournament's official website. The initial window closed on October 26, with fans then contacted if they had been successful.
There will be other opportunities to buy tickets as teams confirm their places at the tournament, including through the play-offs next year. There will also be a resale platform that opens in Spring 2024.
UEFA have said that more than 80 per cent of the 2.7m tickets available will be for the fans of the participating teams and the general public.
Group-stage prices range from €30 (£26) to €200 (£174), increasing in price with each round. Tickets for the final range from €95 (£83) to €1,000 (£870).
The top two teams from each of the six final tournament groups will proceed to the round of 16 along with the four best third-placed finishers.
The quarter-finals and semi-finals follow before the Euro 2024 winner will be crowned in Berlin on July 14.
