On January 3, 2024, according to the CCTV5 program list, the European Cup qualifiers have been held for six rounds. At present, some strong teams have locked the qualification quota in advance, and some groups still have suspense. This article will introduce the qualification rules of the European Cup qualifiers and the qualification situations of each group.
There are 10 groups in the European Cup qualifiers, and each group has 5 or 6 teams. The home and away double round robin system is adopted. The top two of each group will be directly promoted to the European Cup finals, and the other four places will be created through the play offs. The teams participating in the play off will be determined according to the results of the European Union, and the top four players in each league will enter the play off. If they have passed the preliminary contest, they will be postponed to the next player. The play off will be held in March 2024, divided into semi-finals and finals, and the single match elimination system will be adopted.
At present, there are six teams out ahead of schedule, namely England, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Poland and Ukraine. Among them, England, Belgium and Italy all led their respective groups with six victories, showing strong strength and stability. Spain, Poland and Ukraine have also locked in the qualification, but their group leader has not yet been determined, and they still need to strive for it in the last two rounds.
In addition to the teams that have already qualified, there are also some teams that have great hopes to qualify, such as France, Netherlands, Germany, Portugal, etc. As long as they win one game in the last two rounds, or keep the point advantage, they can ensure their qualification. Of course, they should not take it lightly, otherwise they may encounter unexpected variables.
On the other hand, some groups still have suspense, such as Group C, Group D and Group F. The qualification quota of these groups has not been completely determined, and may change. For example, Northern Ireland and the Netherlands in Group C currently have 12 points, three points ahead of Germany, the third place. But they have to face Germany in the last two rounds of the competition. If they lose, they may be overtaken by Germany. Switzerland and Denmark in Group D now have 11 points, 3 points ahead of Ireland, the third place. But they have to fight directly in the last round. If Ireland can win all the last two rounds, it may surpass one of the teams. Sweden and Romania in Group F currently have 14 points, 4 points ahead of Norway, the third place. However, they will face Norway in the last round. If they lose, they may be equalled or surpassed by Norway.
The last two rounds of the European Cup qualifiers will be held in November 2023, when more teams will qualify and there will be more exciting matches. Let's wait and see who can win the European Cup.
