Germany is gearing up to host UEFA 2024 this year in the summer when the club season ends. The tournament will have 24 teams competing for the trophy, which Italy currently holds.
Twenty-one teams have booked their place in the competition so far, with another six teams battling for the final spots. Without further ado, let us take a look at the UEFA EURO 2024 Qualifying teams that have already sealed their place for the summer tournament:
Albania
Albania will be making its way to Germany this summer to play in their second UEFA EURO competition. They did not qualify for the 2020 tournament after making it to the group stage in 2016.
They have been drawn into Group B along with Italy, Croatia and Spain. Their first match will be against the defending champions on the 15th of June.
Austria
Ralf Ragnick will be managing Austria as they make their way to their 4th UEFA EURO competition. The German coach will be looking to impress in his home country and hoping to take them past the Round of 16, where they were eliminated in the 2020 edition.
Austra are in Group D this summer, and will face France and The Netherlands. Their third opponent will be the winner of Play-Off A.
Belgium
The 1980 runners-up will be looking to go all the way this summer when they take the pitch in Germany. This will be the first tournament for Domenico Tedesco, after he was appointed following the departure of Roberto Martinez.

England
The 2020 runners-up have been singing ‘It’s coming home’ for years and will be looking to make it a reality this summer. They lost in the penalty shootout to Italy in the previous edition and Gareth Southgate will be hoping his players can finish the job they started.
They have been drawn in Group C along with Serbia, Denmark and Slovenia.

Kylian Mbappe has won the FIFA World Cup in 2018 and finished as the runner-up in 2022. However, he has not been able to do well in the UEFA EUROs and will be looking to correct it this summer.
France were knocked out of the 2020 edition in the Round of 16 and will be keen on improving. They face Austria, The Netherlands and the winner of Play-Off A in the group stages.
Germany
Unlike the other countries, Germany qualified for the tournament without going through the qualifiers as they are the host nation. They too were knocked out of the tournament in the Round of 16 last time around and have been in poor form on the international stage.
They are in Group A this summer and will take on Scotland, Hungary and Switzerland.
Hungary
Hungary have made it to three consecutive UEFA EUROs after going 44 years without qualifying. They are up against Switzerland, Germany and Scotland in Group A and will be looking to replicate their 1964 heroics of finishing 3rd.
Italy
The reigning champions are keen on defending their crown and will be facing Albabia, Spain and Croatia in the group stages. They are coached by Luciano Spalletti this summer after Roberto Mancini quit for Saudi Arabia.
