Teams Qualified for the Euro 2024 Last-16

A Thrilling Start to the European Championship

EURO 2024 has been nothing short of thrilling as the top European nations have been leaving it all on the line in Germany – and some teams have already booked their spot in the last-16. England have had quite an underwhelming start to the campaign despite picking up four points from their opening two matches. Favourites France currently find themselves in the same position as the Three Lions and it was no surprise to see them struggle against the Netherlands without talisman Kylian Mbappe. While hosts Germany have been putting on a show for their home supporters.

But it's not all about the performance, it's the points that matter the most. And SunSport can reveal what teams have qualified for the Euro 2024 knockout stages.

Teams that Have Qualified for the Last-16

Germany became the first team to secure their place in the last-16 after comfortably beating Hungary 2-0 following a 5-1 pummelling on Scotland. Switzerland also progressed to the last-16 in second place after holding host Germany to a draw in their final group game.

Group B

Spain booked their knockout stage spot last Thursday courtesy of a gruelling 1-0 win over serial winners Spain. And they have been joined by Italy who left it late to earn a vital point against Croatia.
