The Portuguese football team that wins Group F will face Hungary, third in Group A, in the round of 16 of the 2024 European Championship or Slovenia, third in Group C.
On July 1 in Frankfurt, at 21:00 local time (20:00 in Lisbon), Portugal will only be able to face the third of Group A or C because Croatia, third in Group B, which was the other possibility, was eliminated on Tuesday.
Croatia closed their group on Monday with two points and a negative balance of three goals (3-6) and are destined to be one of the two worst third parties as they can only do better than third in Group F. for Portugal.
If Hungary (three points and 2-5 on goals) is in the top four third-placed teams, they will play Portugal, and if they “disappear”, they will play Slovenia (three points and 2-2 on goals), who will face the champion team in 2016.
The Hungarian team’s qualification depends on what happens in Groups E and F, which close on Wednesday.
The round of 16, which already includes Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Italy, England, Denmark, Slovenia, Austria, France, the Netherlands and Portugal, will see the first two teams in each group and the top four third-placed teams qualify.
Two round of 16 matches have now been decided: hosts Germany will play Denmark, while defending champions Italy will play Switzerland.
