The following are specific rules:

• The team ranked third in the group will be ranked in the following order: points, goal difference, goals, UEFA ranking, red and yellow cards, and lottery.
• The team in the third place of the group will match with the team in the first place of the group from the highest ranking until the match is completed or there is no team left in the third place of the group.
• If the number of teams ranking third in the group exceeds 4, the team with the lowest ranking will be eliminated and cannot be promoted to the knockout match.
• If the number of teams ranking third in the group is less than 4, the remaining team ranking first in the group will be paired with the team ranking second in the group and ranked in the following order: points, goal difference, goals, UEFA ranking, red and yellow cards, and lottery.

The impact of the 2024 European Cup group qualification rules on each team is mainly to increase the suspense and competitiveness of the group game, so that more teams have the opportunity to advance to the knockout stages, and more fans have the opportunity to see the wonderful game. Here are some possible impacts:

• For teams with strong strength, such as France, Germany, Spain, etc., they may encounter more challenges in the group game. They need to maintain a high degree of concentration and stability to ensure that the group is qualified, otherwise they may face the risk of being eliminated.
• For teams with ordinary strength, such as Sweden, Poland, Turkey, etc., they may have more opportunities in the group match. As long as they strive for the third place in the group, they may be promoted to the knockout stage. They can give play to their own characteristics and styles and create trouble for their opponents.
• For weaker teams, such as Finland, Northern Macedonia and Hungary, they may have more motivation in the group match. They can learn from the experience of Iceland, Wales and other teams, use tenacious defense and fast counter attack to strive for miracles and surprise fans.
