14 MONTHS ON from the opening round of qualifying matches, the full line-up for the Euro 2016 finals has just been finalised.
A 24 team-tournament for the first time, all but four nations booked their places in the tournament last month.

Pot 1
Spain, Germany, England, Portugal, Belgium.
Pot 2
Italy, Russia, Switzerland, Austria, Croatia, Ukraine.
Pot 3
Czech Republic, Sweden, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Hungary.
Pot 4
Turkey, Republic of Ireland, Iceland, Wales, Albania, Northern Ireland.
