First country eliminated from Euro 2024 confirmed

Poland has become the first team to be eliminated from Euro 2024, which is currently being hosted in Germany.

The Polish team’s elimination was confirmed after their defeat against Austria and the draw between France and the Netherlands. Poland’s chances were slim following a 3-1 loss in an earlier match.

Why was Poland eliminated with one game left to play?

Poland’s elimination came after their loss to Austria on Friday, June 20, 2024. This result left the Netherlands at the top of the group with four points, tied with second-place France, while Austria sits in third with three points.

Poland, currently at zero points, will not be able to match Austria’s points tally even if they win their final game against France. Due to their loss to Austria, Poland cannot overtake them because the head-to-head record is used to rank teams tied on points.
