The draw will involve the two-top finishers in the ten qualifying groups (completed in November) and the eventual four play-off winners (decided in March 2020, and identified as play-off winners 1 to 4 for the purposes of the draw). The draw will spilt the 24 qualifiers into six groups of four. Qualified host nations will be pre- paired in the same groups. How are seedings calculated? Seedings will be based on overall European Qualifiers rankings, which are determined as follows: a) final position in group b) points c) goal difference d) goals scored e) away goals scored f) number of wins g) number of away wins h) lower disciplinary points total (3 points for red card including for second booking, 1 point for single yellow card for a player in a match) i) position in overall UEFA Nations League rankings (see Regulations of the UEFA Nations League) Play-off winners will therefore all be in the fourth seeding pot. Why do some teams already know which groups they are in? Host nations that qualify (or could qualify via the play-offs) will be placed automatically in the following groups to ensure they are at home in at least two group games: Group A: Italy (Olimpico in Rome) Group B: Russia (Saint Petersburg Stadium), Denmark (Parken Stadium, Copenhagen) Group C: Netherlands (Johan Cruijff ArenA, Amsterdam), Romania (National Arena Bucharest) Group D: England (Wembley Stadium, London), Scotland (Hampden Park, Glasgow) Group E: Spain (San Mamés Stadium, Bilbao), Republic of Ireland (Dublin Arena) Group F: Germany (Football Arena Munich), Hungary (Puskás Aréna, Budapest) Qualified teams in bold UEFA EURO 2020 Final Tournament Draw | Press Kit 3 HOW THE DRAW WILL WORK As Russia and Denmark both reached UEFA EURO 2020 via the European Qualifiers, an additional draw was held on 22 November to decide which team plays all three group stage games at home. Denmark will have three group stage home games and Russia two. Due to decisions of the UEFA Executive Committee valid at the time of the draw, the following teams cannot be drawn together in the group stage: • Bosnia and Herzegovina / Kosovo* • Serbia / Kosovo* • Russia / Kosovo* • Ukraine / Russia (the restriction also applies to St Petersburg as group match venue) *These clashes cannot happen during the group stage, because Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, and Serbia are all in the play-offs and therefore in the same pot. Kosovo are part of play-off Path D and have been assigned to play in Group C or F. All restrictions apply only to the group stage. It cannot therefore be excluded that the above- mentioned teams would meet during the knockout stage of the tournament. 4 UEFA EURO 2020 Final Tournament Draw | Press Kit HOW THE DRAW WILL WORK What are the pots?

There were myriad reasons for this, from Nordic noir to gastronomy via architecture, craft beer and even knitwear. Football fans of a certain age wondered what took everyone else so long to discover this. In the mid- 1980s, Denmark were the most interesting and perhaps the best football team in the world, an almost unprecedented achievement for a country with a population of only five million. ‘What Denmark did was amazing,’ said Diego Maradona. ‘They were like a bullet train.’ They made history by playing football from the future: a fast-forward version of the Dutch Total Football that had charmed the world in the 1970s, and with the same unashamedly attacking intent. Denmark’s style made children fall in love with football and reminded adults why they had fallen in love with it in the first place.

    'Club of Economics in Miskolc' TMP Vol. 10., Nr. 2., pp. 3-15. 2014. Regional Export Efficiency in the Market of Football Players KRISZTINA ANDRÁS, Ph.D. ZSOLT HAVRAN ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR PHD STUDENT e-mail:krisztina.andras@uni-corvinus.hu e-mail: zsolt.havran@uni-corvinus.hu SUMMARY The aim of this paper is to interpret and examine the exportefficiency of professional football clubs in the Central Eastern European (CEE) regionwithin the international players’ market. Some clubs in these countries realize higher and higher revenues from transfer activity, which can be interpreted as export of football clubs. The study investigates correlations between sport success and transfer revenues. CEE clubs produce nearly 100 million EUR profit annually, but there are huge differences between countries and clubs. Championships are also divided: those clubs participating in international tournaments have a powerful advantage compared to the other clubs. Keywords: Global sport; professional football; transfer market; export; Central Eastern European region Journal of Economic Literature (JEL) code: L83, R11 as a result the export of players has increased as well. INTRODUCTION, Naturally there is a mutual connection between the two ESEARCH QUESTION phenomena, since the better a club performs internationally R the more visibility the players get, and the more players it can export the higher the revenues are. In the same way The aim of the paper is to interpret and examine the higher revenues provide the opportunity to build better exportefficiency of the CEE region professional football teams and improve youthtraining systems, which enables the clubs in the international players‟ market. Export efficiency clubs again to further develop.
