Reigning European champion Portugal will come up against World Cup winner France and Germany in the standout group at Euro 2020 following Saturday's draw for the tournament in Bucharest, as England came out alongside Croatia.

Neither France nor Portugal was in Pot One for the 24-team competition being held in 12 cities across Europe, making them the dangerous teams to avoid for the top seeds.

FULL DRAW - AS IT HAPPENED

In the event, they came out together in an incredibly tough Group F alongside Germany, which will play group games at home in Munich. That is where Joachim Loew's team will face France in its first match on June 16.

Group F will be completed by one of the winner of the play-offs to be played next March, leaving open several possibilities including Hungary, which will play at home in Budapest should it make it.

Group A	Group B	Group C	Group D	Group E	Group F
Turkey	Denmark	Netherlands	England	Spain	Playoff A
Italy	Finland	Ukraine	Croatia	Sweden	Portugal
Wales	Belgium	Austria	Playoff C	Poland	France
Switzerland	Russia	Playoff D	Czech Republic	Playoff B	Germany

France beat Germany in the semifinals of Euro 2016 on home soil, before losing in the final to a Portugal side which claimed the title for the first time.

Meanwhile, England was drawn with Croatia and the Czech Republic in Group D, with Gareth Southgate's team to play home group games at Wembley, which will also be the venue for the semifinals and final.

That section will be completed by the team to emerge victorious from Path C in the play-offs, between Serbia, Norway, Israel and Scotland. The latter haS the added incentive of knowing it will play home games in Glasgow in the group stage should it qualify.

England faced the Czech Republic in qualifying, winning 5-0 at Wembley but suffering its only defeat of the campaign in Prague, where it went down 2-1 in October.

England will kick off at home to Croatia on June 14 in a repeat of the 2018 World Cup semifinal, which was won by the Croatians.

However, should England win its group it will have to play the runner-up from Group F, setting up a possible clash with Germany, France or Portugal in the last 16.

Elsewhere, Italy will face Turkey in Rome in the tournament's opening game on June 12, with Switzerland and Euro 2016 semifinalists Wales also in that section, Group A.

Spain will take on Sweden and Poland as well as a play-off winner in Group E.

The month-long tournament will conclude with the final in London on July 12.
