Germany vs Scotland Euro 2024 Tickets
On 14 June, the 64th European Football Championship will open at the Munich Football Arena with a match between Germany and Scotland. The tournament will feature 24 teams divided into six groups. The two best teams from each group will go to the 1/8 finals, as well as in the play-offs will get the four best teams that took the third place in the groups. The current European champion is Italy, who won in 2020.
The German national team did not participate in the qualifying rounds, as it had host nation priority. At the same time, the Scottish national team had to endeavour to participate in the European Championships. Scotland is one of the oldest, but not the most titled team in the world. However, they were the opening qualifier in 2024.

The Scots had not qualified for international tournaments for the previous twenty years, and last participated in the World Cup in 1998. That all changed last year when they won three of their four qualifying matches and topped Group A. They beat Cyprus 3-0, Spain 2-0 and Norway 2-1. They also defeated Georgia 2-0.
"The Scottish football miracle began in the 2010s, when the country started creating football academies for children and building indoor stadiums. The results of this policy of football popularisation became visible already at the Euro qualifying stage. Interestingly, all but a few players of the Scottish national team were born and raised in Scotland, rather than being "rented" foreigners for whom they pay big money.
Head coach Steve Clarke's team is planning not only to participate in the Euros, but also to prepare for the 2026 World Cup. However, while they are waiting for a serious rival - the national team of Germany. The match between Germany and Scotland promises not only a bright solemn part of the opening of the championship, but also football intrigue.
