Draw:<\/strong>\u00a022 November 2019<\/p>\n

Final draw:<\/strong>\u00a030 November 2019<\/p>\n

Semi-finals:<\/strong>\u00a026 March 2020<\/p>\n

Finals:<\/strong>\u00a031 March 2020<\/p>\n

How does it work?<\/h2>\n

The UEFA EURO 2020 play-off draw takes place at midday CET on this Friday. The games itself will be played in March 2020. 16 countries will compete for the last 4 qualifying spots for UEFA Euro 2020.<\/p>\n

The teams will be selected based on the their performance in the 2018\/19 Nations League. The UEFA Nations League group winners will all be involved. However, 20 teams have already qualified via Euro 2020 qualification. So, if a group winner has already qualified, their spot goes to the next best-ranked nation.<\/p>\n

Once the 16 nations have been determined, they will be divided in 4 groups. Each group will have its own play-off path. Each route will have 2 single-leg semi-finals and one single-leg final. The better-ranked team, based upon their performance in the UEFA Nations League, will host the semi-final in their own country. The host of the final will be decided by a draw. The winner of each path will then qualify for Euro 2020<\/a> and join the 20 nations who have already qualified.<\/p>\n

4 paths<\/h2>\n

Path A:<\/strong>\u00a0Iceland, Bulgaria\/Israel\/Hungary\/Romania*<\/p>\n

Path B:<\/strong>\u00a0Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovakia, Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland<\/p>\n

Path C:<\/strong>\u00a0Scotland, Norway, Serbia, Bulgaria\/Israel\/Hungary\/Romania*<\/p>\n

Path D:<\/strong>\u00a0Georgia, North Macedonia, Kosovo, Belarus<\/p>\n

*A draw will decide which of Bulgaria, Israel, Hungary or Romania will fill the empty slot in Path C, and which three go into Path A.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
