Euro 2020: Find out who England and Wales will play

The draw for the UEFA Euro 2020 tournament has been completed with England and Wales representing the United Kingdom in the international continental competition which will take place next summer.

England have been drawn against Croatia and the Czech Republic in Group D, with the fourth place to be decided by play-offs in March.

Wales have been drawn against Italy, Turkey, and Switzerland in Group A.

England could potentially be joined by Scotland following play-offs against Israel, and then either Norway or Serbia.

England will play their opening game against Croatia on 14 June. The two last met in the World Cup semi-finals, when Croatia won 2-1.

The 20 teams who have already qualified for the tournament are being drawn into six groups of four, with four remaining teams being decided at a play-offs tournament in March.

England qualified as their group winners ahead of the Czech Republic, while Wales were runners-up in their group behind Croatia.

Neither team has previously won the tournament, and Wales only qualified for the first time in 2016.

Both the semi-finals and the finals will be held in Wembley Stadium in London, but the tournament is being held on a pan-European basis across 12 cities in as many European countries.

Some of the teams will necessarily be drawn into particular groups as they are home teams which are hosting part of the tournament.

Due to the larger competition size, group winners, runners-up, and the four best third-placed teams will advance to the round of 16.

As winners of their qualification group, England are top seeds for Group D, and will play all of their group games at Wembley in June.

If Scotland were to qualify, they would play their other games in Group D at Hampden Park in Glasgow.

Here are the groups…
