The Euro 2024 tournament captivated football fans worldwide, showcasing thrilling matches and unforgettable moments. Hosted across Germany, the competition featured Europe’s top national teams battling for continental glory. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the Euro Cup 2024 bracket, detailing the format, results, and key highlights from each stage of the tournament.
Euro 2024 Format Explained
The Euro 2024 adopted a format involving 24 participating nations, divided into six groups (Group A to F), each consisting of four teams. The initial stage was a round-robin group stage where each team played every other team in their group once. Points were awarded based on match outcomes: three for a win, one for a draw, and none for a loss.
Advancement to the knockout stage was granted to the top two teams from each group, along with the four best third-placed teams across all groups. This setup ensured that the most competitive teams progressed to the next phase. The knockout stage followed a single-elimination bracket format, starting with the Round of 16, then Quarterfinals, Semifinals, and culminating in the Final match to determine the Euro 2024 champion. In knockout matches, if scores were level after regular time, extra time was played, and if still tied, penalty shootouts decided the winner.
