England have ensured a high seeding for next summer\u2019s Euro 2024.<\/p>\n

Gareth Southgate\u2019s side topped qualifying Group C unbeaten, securing a tally of 20 points to finish as one of the five best group winners.<\/p>\n

That ensured that they are in Pot 1 for the draw alongside Germany, Portugal, France, Spain and Belgium.<\/p>\n

It means that the Euro 2020 runners-up will not face any of those five sides in the group stages.<\/p>\n

That makes England\u2019s path to knock-out stage qualification easier, though there are still plenty of strong sides in the other three pots.<\/p>\n

With three play-off qualifiers still to be confirmed, the pots look like this:<\/p>\n

Pot 1<\/strong>: Germany (hosts), Portugal, France, Spain, Belgium, England<\/p>\n

Pot 2<\/strong>: Hungary, Turkey, Romania, Denmark, Albania, Austria<\/p>\n

Pot 3<\/strong>: Netherlands, Scotland, Croatia, Slovenia, Slovakia, Czech Republic<\/p>\n

Pot 4<\/strong>: Italy, Serbia, Switzerland, Play-off winner A, Play-off winner B, Play-off winner C<\/p>\n

So what is the toughest possible draw for England?<\/p>\n

While the pots are based on qualifying form, and thus a useful gauge of team quality, we will go by Fifa\u2019s world rankings to determine the best and worst case scenarios for Southgate and his side. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

England topped their qualifying group <\/p>\n

The toughest possible draw for England (current world ranking 4th) would be: Denmark (19th), Netherlands (7th), Italy (9th).<\/strong><\/p>\n

The simplest draw, meanwhile, would comprise of: Albania (59th), Slovenia (54th), Kazakhstan* (98th).<\/strong><\/p>\n

*Kazakhstan are <\/em>part of qualifying play-off Path C<\/em><\/p>\n

When is Euro 2024?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 17th edition of the men\u2019s Euros will be held in Germany between 14 June and 14 July.<\/p>\n
