UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying Group I

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Group I of UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying was one of the ten groups to decide which teams would qualify for the UEFA Euro 2020 finals tournament.[1] Group I consisted of six teams: Belgium, Cyprus, Kazakhstan, Russia, San Marino and Scotland,[2] where they played against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format.[3]

The top two teams, Belgium and Russia, qualified directly for the finals. Unlike previous editions, the participants of the play-offs were not decided based on results from the qualifying group stage, but instead based on their performance in the 2018–19 UEFA Nations League.

Belgium won all ten of their matches, becoming the seventh national side to qualify for a European Championship with a 100% record, and the eighth instance, after France (1992 and 2004), Czech Republic (2000), Germany, Spain (both 2012), England (2016), and Italy (2020).
