Defending champions France, meanwhile, have ostensibly the easiest group, though Austria, Croatia and Denmark will hope to prevent them reaching a second successive Finals.

Iberian rivals Portugal and Spain have the Czech Republic and Switzerland for company in Group A2.

Due to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar being held in the winter, four of the matches in each group will be played in June of next year, with the remaining fixtures to be completed in September.

The results of those will determine which team tops the group and advances to the finals of the competition, which are due to begin on June 14, 2023.

It will be the third edition of the competition, with France following inaugural champions Portugal as winners of the biennial event.
