teams each)

1. Pot allocation of teams

Teams are allocated to the four pots 1-4 in accordance with their results in the qualifying group stage (art.
12.05 of the competition regulations). The team of the host association, Germany, is seeded in pot 1 (art.
12.05), but is not drawn as as it is automatically allocated to group A in position 1 (art. 18.03 b).
The three teams qualifying via the European Qualifiers play-offs in March 2024 are allocated to pot 4.

Pot 1 Pot 2
•Team 1 •Team 6
•Team 2 •Team 7
•Team 3 •Team 8

 2. Draw procedure
Apart from the four pots 1, 2, 3 and 4 which contain the balls with the 23 teams that enter the draw, six
pots A, B, C, D, E and F are required to draw the respective team’s position in each group.
Pots B-F contain four balls each to represent the positions available in each group (e.g. B1, B2, B3 and
B4). Pot A contains three balls for the available positions A2, A3 and A4 in group A, since Germany will
occupy position A1.
The draw starts with pot 1. The first team from pot 1 is drawn and assigned to the first-available group in
alphabetical order (group B in this case). To determine the position of the team within the drawn group, a
ball is subsequently drawn from the relevant bowl (pot B in this case) containing the group positions.
The next team is drawn to be assigned to the next available group in alphabetical order. Again, a ball is
drawn from the associated pot with the group positions. The same procedure is repeated, until one team
from Pot 1 has been assigned to every group B to F, and a group position has been assigned to every
team.
Once Pot 1 has been emptied, the draw continues with Pot 2 in the same fashion (i.e. until one team from
Pot 2 has been assigned to every group A to F), then Pot 3 and concludes with Pot 4.

3. Draw conditions
Subject to the UEFA Executive Committee decisions valid at the time of the draw, teams may be prohibited
from being drawn into the same group. Note that these teams may also be represented by the placeholders
for the play-off teams that may qualify in March 2024.
The “prohibited team clashes” applicable for the UEFA EURO 2024 final draw are:

• Bosnia-Herzegovina / Kosovo
• Serbia / Kosovo
• Ukraine / Belarus
• Azerbaijan / Armenia
• Spain / Gibraltar
The “prohibited team clash” restriction only applies to the final tournament group stage. It cannot be
excluded that the above-mentioned teams would meet during the knock-out stage.
