The European governing body has unveiled the qualification setup for the tournament, with the new Nations League providing an extra avenue into the finals
Uefa’s Executive Committee has confirmed the format for the qualifying stage of Euro 2024, with the new Uefa Nations League named as one of the avenues for progression to the finals.
جي 54 European nations will be split into four groups of six teams and six of five, with the winners and runners-up from all 10 groups earning a place in the continent-wide special edition of the tournament in 2024.
Such a format means no third-placed teams will qualify – a significant change from the ongoing European qualifiers for the 2016 finals in France. بدران, the final four places will go to teams qualifying from a series of Nations League play-offs held in March 2024, just three months before the finals are due to be played.
Teams will play six matches in one of four leagues between September and November 2018 as part of the initial group phase of the Nations League. Within each league, four teams will then play off for the last four spots at Euro 2024.
جي 2024 finals tournament will take place in 13 different countries around Europe, with the semi-finals and final to be played at London’s Wembley Stadium.
The Uefa ExCo has also announced that Russia will be banned from incorporating Crimean clubs or using Crimean territory to host fixtures as of January 1, 2015.

پر يوفا هاڻي تصديق ڪئي آهي ته ڪريميا کي "خاص زون" سمجهيو ويندو’ فٽبال جي مقصدن لاء, ان کي آر ايف يو جي ترقي کان بچائڻ.
هڪ بيان وضاحت ڪئي: “Uefa ExCo ميمبر جي نگراني هيٺ, مسٽر Frantisek Laurinec, يوفا پڻ ڪريميا ۾ فٽبال جي ترقي کي فنڊ ڏيندو, خاص طور تي نوجوانن ۽ فٽبال انفراسٽرڪچر جي شروعاتن لاءِ, مستقبل جي Uefa ExCo جي اجلاس ۾ طئي ٿيڻ لاءِ صحيح فنڊنگ سان.
“اهو حل صورتحال کي يوفا ۽ فيفا ٻنهي جي قانونن جي مطابق آڻيندو آهي ۽ انهي کي يقيني بڻائڻ جو مقصد آهي ته فٽبال کيڏي سگهجي ٿو ۽ ڪريميا ۾ ترقي ڪري سگهجي ٿي.”
