Euro 2024: Tournament Omits Third-Place Play-Off

Euro 2024 Drops Third-Place Play-Off Match

Spain advances to the final after a thrilling 2-1 victory over France on Tuesday night. However, Les Bleus have concluded their tournament run and will not participate in any further matches.

In the other semi-final, England will face the Netherlands for the opportunity to challenge Spain in Sunday’s final.

Unlike the World Cup, Euro 2024 will not feature a third-place play-off match, a tradition absent since 1980. That year, Czechoslovakia defeated Italy 9-8 on penalties after a 1-1 draw in the match.
