England aren’t favourites to win Euro 2024 | Football Digest
England supporters are able to relax and count down the days to Euro 2024 after the draw was made on Saturday, with Gareth Southgate’s men assured of their place at the tournament in July next year. After coming so close at Wembley back in 2021, the Three Lions will be bidding to end 57 years of hurt on German turf next summer – and the clamour for tickets is set to continue with a new release set to allow fans to purchase tickets.
Germany will host the Euros for the first time, having been chosen to stage the 17th edition of the tournament at a UEFA Executive Committee meeting in Nyon back in September 2018. It is the first time Germany has staged the Euros since its reunification, with West Germany hosting the 1988 edition.
The draw deciding the groups for the 24-team tournament was made in Hamburg on December 2, with the likes of England, France, Germany, Spain and Portugal discovering their fate. The tournament will begin on June 14, 2024, and the final is scheduled to take place at Germany’s national arena, the Olympiastadion in Berlin, on July 14.
Ahead of the tournament, Express Sport has all of the details about how you can attend by purchasing tickets…

How to buy Euro 2024 tickets
The vast majority of tickets have already been snapped up by fans across Europe after the ticket process ran from October 3 to October 26. Over 1.2 million tickets were made available via an application period, with a total of 2.7m tickets being made available to the public.
However, those who missed out on the initial application process have a chance of snapping up some last-minute match tickets. UEFA announced that one million tickets will go on sale for fans of national associations involved in the final tournament.
Tickets will also be held back for sale to supporters of the national teams that qualify through the Euro 2024 play-offs, which are scheduled for March 21 and March 26 next year.
