#Euro2020: France, Germany, Portugal drawn in same group [See full draw]
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.
