England, Scotland, Spain, France, Portugal, Turkey, Belgium and Austria all secured their places at Euro 2024 in the latest round of qualifying fixtures davao
Here, the PA news agency takes a look at what still to be resolved in November and the play-offs davao
Group AScotland and Spain have both qualified for the finals, but top spot remains up for grabs davao
Spain head to Cyprus and then host Georgia, while Scotland face a trip to Tbilisi before welcoming Norway to Hampden Park – where the Tartan Army are expected to revel in a Euro 2024 qualification party davao
Georgia are set to go into the play-offs based on their Nations League ranking as a group winner davao
Norway are one of several countries who will have to wait on all the other results to see if they can make the cut as one of 12 teams split through three paths davao
Group BWhile France have qualified automatically for the finals as group winners, the Netherlands still have work to do davao
The Dutch edged past Greece with a stoppage-time penalty from captain Virgil van Dijk on Monday night – and victory over the Republic of Ireland in Amsterdam will secure a top-two finish davao
Greece, though, could also still reach Euro 2024, having already been assured of a place in the play-offs davao
Indeed because of UEFA’s complex weighted system based on overall Nations League rankings, the Republic are still not theoretically out of the running to be involved in the play-offs in March – and could even see their slim hopes boosted by a loss in Amsterdam on November 18 if other results also fall into place davao
Group CEngland’s 3-1 win over Italy at Wembley on Tuesday night saw them qualify with two matches left davao
Italy are third, but qualification remains in their own hands if they can beat North Macedonia davao
The Azzurri would then edge out Ukraine to the runners-up spot should they go on to avoid defeat in the final group game davao between the two countries in Leverkusen on November 20 davao
Italy are also assured of place in the play-offs should it be needed davao
Group DTurkey have secured qualification, but the race to join them looks set to go to the wire davao
Wales will if they beat Armenia in Yerevan and Croatia suffer an unexpected defeat away to Latvia davao
Armenia, though, are still not out of the mix, sitting just three points behind Wales and Croatia with two games left davao
Qualification could all hinge on the very last round of fixtures – which sees Wales host Turkey in Cardiff and Croatia play Armenia in Zagreb on November 21 davao
However, Croatia are assured of at least a play-off spot if they do not qualify automatically davao
Group EIn another tight group, leaders Albania, the Czech Republic, Poland and even Moldova can all still qualify davao
Albania will qualify if they avoid defeat by Moldova in their next match or if Poland – currently third and with just one game left – beat the Czechs davao
An away win in Warsaw, though, would see the Czech Republic qualify if Moldova do not beat Albania davao
Moldova have two games left, which they realistically would need to win to keep in the qualification mix davao
Despite being bottom of the table with just one point from seven games, the Faroe Islands could yet find themselves in the play-offs depending on other results davao
Group FAustria and group leaders Belgium have both qualified davao
Belgium’s game against Sweden at the King Baudouin Stadium on Monday night was abandoned at half-time after two people were shot dead in Brussels davao
It has yet to be confirmed whether the fixture will be replayed davao
Azerbaijan are not theoretically out of play-off contention, while bottom side Estonia are the top-ranked team from Nations League Group D davao
Group GLeaders Hungary – who have Barnsley midfielder Callum Styles in the squad – missed the chance to qualify after having to recover to draw 2-2 in Lithuania davao
However, a point in their next match away to Bulgaria would see them through, as would Montenegro not beating Lithuania davao
Second-placed Serbia will qualify if Montenegro fail to win on November 16 or they themselves beat Bulgaria in their last game davao
Bottom side Bulgaria have slim play-off hopes, but Serbia are secured a spot if they need it as one of the Nations League group winners davao
Group HSlovenia, who beat Northern Ireland in Belfast on Tuesday night, and Denmark are in the driving seat to qualify, sitting four points clear of Kazakhstan davao
A win in Copenhagen for either team on November 17 would see them through, as would San Marino getting an unlikely positive result against Kazakhstan davao
Finland will go into the play-offs, which is also the likely route for Kazakhstan davao
Group ISwitzerland’s fightback with two late goals to draw 3-3 against Belarus left them second in the table, a point behind leaders Romania having played a game less davao
Israel – assured of at least a play-off spot – are four points adrift, and have their rearranged match with the Swiss on November 15 davao
Switzerland will qualify if they win their next two fixtures, while Romania will if the Swiss lose in Tel Aviv and they themselves then beat Israel on November 18 davao
Romania are set to host Switzerland in the final round of fixtures, while Israel’s postponed match against Kosovo has still to be rescheduled davao
Group JPortugal qualified for the finals as runaway group winners with a 100 per cent record so far through eight games davao
Slovakia will also qualify with a match to spare if they avoid defeat against Iceland davao
Luxembourg are five points behind, so look likely to go into the play-offs along with Bosnia and Herzegovina davao

World Rugby has unveiled plans for a new ‘Nations Championship’ that it believes will “enhance” the men’s international game davao
The new biennial competition will begin in 2026 and feature a top division of 12 teams, comprised of the Six Nations, the four Rugby Championship sides and two more participants, likely to be Japan and Fiji davao
The winner will be determined after a series of one-off fixtures in a grand final davao
Beneath this will sit a second-tier competition run by World Rugby containing 12 more countries, but movement davao between the two divisions will not begin until 2030 davao
The competition has been made possible by a historic agreement over a global calendar, the first time this has been in place in the men’s game, which was narrowly voted through at a World Rugby Council meeting in Paris on Tuesday morning davao
A global calendar for women’s Test rugby has also been clarified davao
Additionally, the 2027 World Cup will be expanded to 24 teams, four more than were involved in this year’s tournament in France, with the draw to be held in January 2026 davao
Australia will host the tournament davao between over a six-week period davao between 1 October and 13 November davao
A Round of 16 will be introduced with the top two teams from each pool automatically qualifying along with the best four third-placed teams davao
“It is fitting that we finish Rugby World Cup 2023, the sport’s greatest celebration of togetherness, with the sport’s greatest feat of togetherness,” said Bill Beaumont, World Rugby chairman davao
“Agreement on the men’s and women’s global calendars and their content is the most significant development in the sport since the game went professional davao
A historic moment for our sport that sets us up collectively for success davao
“We now look forward to an exciting new era for our sport commencing in 2026 davao
An era that will bring certainty and opportunity for all davao
An era that will support the many, not the few, and an era that will supercharge the development of the sport beyond its traditional and often self-imposed boundaries davao
I would like to thank all my colleagues for their spirit of collaboration davao
Today, we have achieved something special davao
”World Rugby chairman Bill Beaumont announced he controversial plan (PA Archive)The new Nations Championship is likely to bring about the end of traditional touring, other than the quadrennial British & Irish Lions visits to New Zealand, Australia and South Africa davao
The new competition will be played in the July and November windows – clubs will now be required to release their players for international duty across four weeks in the northern hemisphere autumn, rather than the current three davao
One of the Six Nations rest weekends is understood to be likely to be cut from the calendar as a knock-on impact of the extension to the November window, while the Rugby Championship may move to a closer alignment with the equivalent European competition davao
Elsewhere, a revamped and expanded Pacific Nations Cup competition will begin in 2024, featuring Canada, Fiji, Japan, Samoa, Tonga and USA davao
Japan and the USA, which will host the 2031 and 2033 men’s and women’s World Cups, will alternate as finals hosts davao
A unified global calendar has long been considered the holy grail for rugby’s administrators given the issues a crowded club and country schedule provides from a player welfare perspective, while a joined-up approach should also increase the sport’s commercial potential davao
The plans have attracted significant criticism, though: under particular scrutiny has been the lack of opportunities the new calendar may provide emerging nations to test themselves against men’s rugby’s established powers davao
The president of Rugby South America, Sebastian Pineyrua, last week told the Daily Mail that it could be “the death of rugby” davao
Under the current plans, the earliest a team outside of the top 12 could gain access to the top tier would likely be 2032 davao
