UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying play-offs

The twelve teams were selected based on their performance in the 2022–23 UEFA Nations League. These teams were divided into three paths, each containing four teams, with one team from each path qualifying for the final tournament. • If there were four teams available in a given league, form a path with these four teams. • If there were more than four teams available in a given league, draw which four teams would participate in the path of the league. • All remaining teams were drawn into a path of a higher league. • If there were fewer than four teams available in a given league, draw available and eligible teams from other leagues so that four teams composed the path of the given league. Match pairings and rules Each play-off path featured two single-leg semi-finals, and one single-leg final, taking place in March 2024. In the semi-finals of each path, based on the Nations League rankings, the best-ranked team hosted the fourth-ranked team, and the second-ranked team hosted the third-ranked team. The host of each final was decided by a draw between the two semi-final pairings. The play-offs were played in single-leg knockout matches. If scores were level at the end of normal time, 30 minutes of extra time were played, followed by a penalty shoot-out if the scores remained level. ==Teams selected==

The team selection process, using a set of criteria, determined the twelve teams that would compete in the play-offs based on the Nations League overall rankings.

The qualifying play-off draw took place on 23 November 2023, 12:00 CET, at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland. The draw followed the path formation rules to determine the paths in which the non-group winners will participate. Three separate draws determining the host of the play-off final of each path also took place between the winners of the semi-final pairings (identified as semi-final 1 for seed 1 v 4, and semi-final 2 for seed 2 v 3). Due to the specificity of the draw, the exact procedure could only be finalised following the conclusion of the qualifying group stage. No restrictions were applied to the draw, as none of the clashes prohibited by UEFA for political reasons could occur. Based on the twelve teams that advanced to the play-offs, the three play-off paths were formed following the path formation rules, starting with League C and working up to League A: • As there were four teams from League C (three group winners and one non-group winner), they were all placed in Path C. • As there were five teams from League B (two group winners and three non-group winners), the two group winners were placed in Path B, while a draw decided which two of the three non-group winners were also placed in Path B. • As there were two teams from League A (both non-group winners), they were both placed in Path A, along with the best-ranked League D group winner. The one remaining non-group winner from League B that was not drawn to Path B was then placed in Path A. The following three non-group winners from League B (ordered by Nations League ranking) took part in the draw, with two being drawn into Path B, while the remaining team was allocated to Path A: • • • The two teams drawn into Path B occupied positions B3 and B4, following their Nations League ranking, while the team drawn into Path A occupied position A3. The following was the composition of the play-off paths: The following semi-final winners were drawn to host the play-off final: • Path A: Winner semi-final 2 (Wales v Finland) • Path B: Winner semi-final 2 (Bosnia and Herzegovina v Ukraine) • Path C: Winner semi-final 1 (Georgia v Luxembourg) ==Schedule==

The semi-finals took place on 21 March, while the final matches took place five days later on 26 March 2024. However, the friendly match between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Israel was cancelled by both Federations and UEFA due to security reasons related to the Gaza war.
