The Euro 2024 group stage draw has been completed in Hamburg and last tournament's finalists England will face Denmark, Slovenia and Serbia.

Gareth Southgate's side beat the Danes in the semi-finals of Euro 2020, an extra-time penalty from Harry Kane securing a 2-1 victory for the Three Lions.

Elsewhere, Scotland have been dealt a very difficult path to the knockouts, as they will lock horns with host nation Germany, Hungary and Switzerland in Group A.

France may not find the going at Euro 2024 easy either after being drawn against the Netherlands, Austria and the winner of play-off path A — which could be Wales.

However, Les Bleus did defeat Ronald Koeman's Oranje outfit home and away in qualifying, with Kylian Mbappe scoring a brace in each of those matches.

There is also another blockbuster Euro 2024 encounter in Group B, where holders Italy will take on Spain.

The 12-team play-off round to determine the final three qualifiers will take place between March 21-26.

Wales are joined by Poland, Estonia, Finland, Israel, Iceland, Ukraine, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Luxembourg, Greece and Kazakhstan in the last-chance saloon.
