England manager Gareth Southgate, Croatia coach Zlatko Dalic and Czech Republic coach Jaroslav Silhavy on stage after being drawn in Group D of Euro 2020 |
Defending champions Portugal will be in the same Euro 2020 group as France and Germany while England meet Croatia in a repeat of last year’s World Cup semi-final following the draw on Saturday.
World champions France, Germany and Portugal will be joined in Group F, to be played in Munich and Budapest, by the winners of playoff A or D in by far the toughest of the six first-round pools.
Portugal were among the third seeded teams because of their relatively poor performance in the qualifiers.
England and Croatia, who play the first Group D match in London, will be joined by the Czech Republic and the eventual winners of playoff C.
The tournament will be played in 12 different European countries in a one-off format to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the European Championship.
