Italy to face England for 2024 European Championship

LONDON: Reigning champion Italy were drawn on Sunday to face England, the team it beat in the final last year, and Ukraine in qualifying for the 2024 European Championship.

Euro 2024, hosted by Germany, will be Italy's chance to regain some pride after it failed to qualify for the World Cup which kicks off in Qatar in six weeks' time.

Italy beat host England in a penalty shootout at Wembley last year after the match ended 1-1 following extra time.

Italy will also play North Macedonia, the country which knocked them out of the World Cup in the playoffs in Palermo in March.

France were drawn to face the Netherlands and the Republic of Ireland in Group B while Spain's opponents in Group A will include Scotland and Erling Haaland's Norway. Agencies
