After a historic Monday, when the Slovenian national team for the second time in its history at the European Championship, all eyes of the Slovenian football public are already on the official draw, which will be hosted by the Philharmonie on the River Elbe in Hamburg on 2 December. European Football Association (UEFA) today announced the composition of all four pots, which are not yet complete due to the additional qualifiers that will take place in March. Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Iceland, Poland, Luxembourg, Estonia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Wales, Finland, Greece and Israel will chase the remaining three spots in the championship through additional qualifiers.
Slovenia is in pot number 3, which means that it cannot face the Netherlands, Scotland, neighbouring Croatia, Slovakia, which often stands in for us for the less geography-savvy, and its neighbour the Czech Republic in the group stage of the competition.
From the cream of European football that makes up the pot number 1 , our boys will compete against one of the big-name teams such as England, Belgium, Spain, France, Portugal and host Germany.
In pot number 2 are neighbours Austria and Hungary, and Slovenia’s latest executioner Denmark, with Turkey, Albania and Romania in their company.
Interestingly, the defending Wembley champion Italy is in the last, lowest quality pot, number 4, which also includes Serbia and Switzerland, while the winners of the additional qualifiers will have their group stage opponents in the same drum.
