UEFA's decision stands in stark contrast to FIFA's policy, which generously distributed direct tickets to all six 2030 World Cup hosts, who will only host one match.

Despite the fact that England is one of the key countries of Euro 2028 and will host 32 matches of the tournament, its national team did not take away a guaranteed place in the final part of the tournament. A similar situation occurred in other sponsors of the tournament - Wales, Scotland and the Republic of Ireland.

This UEFA report has been actively discussed, especially on the basis of the recent decision of FIFA regarding the format of the World Cup 2030, where automatic tickets were taken away by absolutely all organizing countries.

24 teams will take part in the final part of Euro 2028. At the hour of UEFA qualification, divide the teams into 12 groups. In order to guarantee money for the tournament, Thomas Tuchel's teams must win their selection group or advance to the highest number of teams in other places.

Since all the rulers of the land are dying in their minds, they are subject to the sacred rules. An external mechanism has been transferred to the tournament hosts. UEFA has reserved two additional spots for those local organizers who will show the best results in the qualification, but will not be able to get into the tournament directly (through victory in the group or by ruining the others.

This means that from the very recent selection, England still have a high chance of qualifying without participating in the play-off playoff matches.

The only scenario for which England would risk missing out on the European Championships at home looks like this: The team does not win the group and is not one of the closest other teams. The two other countries (for example, Wales and Scotland) also do not pass directly, but gain more points or have a greater difference in goals, lower England.

UEFA's harsh position before the rulers is contradicted by FIFA's approach to the organization of the 2030 emergency. The upcoming World Cup will be hosted by Spain, Portugal and Morocco, but in honor of the 100th World Cup, the tournament will take place in New America.

FIFA praised the unprecedented decision to give automatic tickets to six teams: Spain, Portugal and Morocco (the main countries that will host the majority of matches). Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay (take one more starting match each).

The inclusion of American countries has a historical overtone: Uruguay took the first emergency and grave in the final against Argentina in Montevideo, and Paraguay is the historical home of CONMEBOL, the key body of local football.. Undeterred by the fact that these three countries only played one game each, each of them took away its place in the tournament with a legal qualification.

Guess what, the biggest goal for the 2026 Emergency was previously announced.
