Groups
Why are those countries listed in those groups? How were they qualified? How have they played 3 matches in 2022 when all matches are set to be played in 2024? --138.246.3.169 (talk) 12:59, 28 May 2022 (UTC)
 * It's fixed now. --138.246.3.169 (talk) 13:19, 28 May 2022 (UTC)

Italy not qualified?
Do they not get an automatic qualification? Faronnorth (talk) 20:53, 4 December 2022 (UTC)


 * The holders have never had automatic qualification for the European Championships. – PeeJay 11:24, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

Croatia are missing
I think Croatia are missing (or "is missing"?) from the section headed Seeding. It's too complicated for me to see where they should go, though. Sorry! Nick Barnett (talk) 07:51, 21 November 2023 (UTC)


 * I think they're missing because they haven't qualified yet. If they don't win today, Wales can overtake them with a win over Turkiye. – PeeJay 13:13, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

Czechoslovakia
Surely Slovakia should have Czechoslovakia appearances counted as well as the Czech Republic. It does not make sense to include them for CZE but not for SVK. BigLob1 (talk) 22:42, 20 November 2023 (UTC)


 * It's because the Czech Republic is considered as the predecessor country of Czechoslovakia, exactly the same how Serbia is when it comes to Yugoslavia and Serbia&Montenegro Real Heydavid17 (talk) 23:16, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Both Czechia and Slovakia are considered the successors to Czechoslovakia (see here). Czechia is considered to have qualified for 10 previous tournaments, while Slovakia is considered to have qualified for five. This is explained further at the bottom of the page, where they say "A number of UEFA associations have been affected by dissolution or splits of member associations. For statistical purposes, the records of these inactive countries have been allocated elsewhere: therefore, all Soviet Union matches are awarded to Russia; all West Germany – but not East Germany – matches are awarded to Germany; all Yugoslavia and Serbia & Montenegro matches are awarded to Serbia; all Czechoslovakia matches are allocated to both Czechia and Slovakia." – PeeJay 01:14, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Point I was trying to make without a history lesson.. BigLob1 (talk) 22:08, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

Confusing tag, placement of qualification map
With the qualification map being placed (a second time?) in the article at the top of the article, it falls next to the host selection section. This is unclear and creates a situation where a reader can infer that the map is the countries that were in competition to host the event.

Is the exclusion of Russia a compelling enough reason to place this at the top of the article, and if so, is this illustration what we can best use to visually convey that information? —C.Fred (talk) 19:06, 27 March 2024 (UTC)


 * The overview map is included once in the article. I consider the alleged confusion regarding the section on the host country to be unfounded. The context of the overview map is clearly recognizable by the heading on the participating teams. This fact, together with the fact that Russia's exclusion from a European competition is very relevant, should be sufficient. This overview map should therefore be positioned here. Bildersindtoll (talk) 21:04, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I've just moved the map to the qualification section, as there are always unfounded edits and it's too much of a waste of my time and the article to keep this going forever without any real discussion taking place. Topic closed accordingly. Bildersindtoll (talk) 10:48, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

How to present the playoff winners
Is there any reason at this point not to list the playoff winners into the pots, with a note that their identities were not known at the time of the draw? If not, when do we provide readers of this article information about the qualification? —C.Fred (talk) 12:54, 31 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Yes there is a clear reason: listing factually correct information. These countries were not in the pots of the draw, so us listing them there would be patently false. The list of qualified teams and the full groups are already listed elsewhere.Tvx1 12:57, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
