Euro 2025 playoff second stage<\/h3>\n
UEFA opted for an open yet partially guided draw, based on the initial rankings. The 28 teams were divided into four merit-based pots, ranging from the highest-ranked teams yet to be qualified to the lowest. This arrangement disregarded the results of the just-concluded group stage.<\/p>\n
Eight teams from League A automatically qualified, joined by 12 from League B (excluding Switzerland, already qualified as hosts), and another eight teams from League C. Considering the 51 countries registered for this competition\u2014Russia being excluded due to the conflict in Ukraine whilst Belarus regularly participating\u2014very few teams have been definitively excluded from competing for a place in the European Championship.<\/p>\n
The teams already eliminated are Malta, Israel, Kosovo, Lithuania, Cyprus, Latvia, North Macedonia, Moldova, Faroe Islands, Andorra, Bulgaria, Armenia, Kazakhstan and Estonia. The first three were ousted from League B, while the others finished at the bottom of their respective League C groups and cannot be reselected.<\/p>\n
The draw held in Nyon on July 19 provided several intriguing matchups, with some potentially balanced and competitive encounters. The pairings are pre-determined, setting the schedule through to the decisive third round.<\/p>\n
