Ireland handed nightmare group for Euro 2024 qualification campaign

The draw for the Euro 2024 qualifiers have been made.

The Republic of Ireland have been handed a nightmare draw for the Euro 2024 qualifiers. Stephen Kenny's side, seeded third for Sunday's draw due to their performance in the Uefa Nations League, were drawn in a group alongside The Netherlands, France, Greece and Gibraltar. Ireland face a mammoth task to qualify directly for the tournament, and they are, as it stands, not guaranteed a play-off place from the Nations League.
