CCTV5 program list (January 24, 2024) - The European Football Association (UEFA) officially announced the new ranking rules of the 2024 European Cup today. Teams with the same points in the group stage will be ranked in different ways to determine the number of qualified teams. The main feature of the new rules is that the relationship between victory and defeat is paramount, and fair competition scores become the key.

According to the new rules, if two or more teams have the same points in the group stage, they will be ranked in the following order:

1. In the competition between each other, the teams with high points rank higher;
2. If the points are still the same, the teams with more goals difference will be ranked higher in the competition between them;
3. If the goal difference is still the same, the teams with more goals will rank higher in the competition between them;
4. If the goals are still the same, the teams with high scores in fair competition will be ranked higher in the competition between them. Fair competition score refers to the deduction of yellow cards and red cards obtained by the team in the game. Each yellow card will be deducted by 1 point, each red card will be deducted by 3 points, and two yellow cards will become red cards will be deducted by 4 points. The less the deduction, the higher the score;
5. If the scores in fair competition are still the same, the team with more goals difference will be ranked higher in all group matches;
6. If the goal difference is still the same, the team with more goals will be ranked higher in all group matches;
7. If the goals are still the same, the teams with high scores in fair competition will be ranked higher in all group matches;
8. If the score of fair play is still the same, the team with the highest ranking will be ranked higher according to the European Football Association's national team ranking.

The introduction of the new rules is to make the European Cup more fair and intense, to avoid intentional draw or loss, and to provide more opportunities and motivation for the team to qualify. The biggest change of the new rules is that the fair competition score is an important basis for ranking, which means that the discipline and demeanor of the team in the game will directly affect their qualification destiny. This will also bring more pressure and challenges to players and coaches. They need to control their emotions and behaviors while maintaining a balance between attack and defense, and avoid unnecessary fouls and red and yellow cards.

The 2024 European Cup will be held in Germany from June 9 to July 9. A total of 24 teams will participate in the 2024 European Cup, which is divided into six groups. The top two teams in each group and the fourth best third team will enter the knockout phase. At present, 20 teams have been qualified for the preliminaries, and the other four teams will be selected in the play offs in March next year. The European Cup is the highest honor of European football and also a great event of world football. All teams will go all out to fight for the glory of the championship.
