O.K. so what I am getting from this all is that if we manage to qualify we will be playing Spain, Sweden & Czech Republic in our group. Is this correct?

Yes the rule states a minimum of 2 games one country may play at home, you may play 3 depending on a draw done by UEFA Like the other poster states Edited by lassassinblanc - 04 Dec 2018 at 2:29pm |

No, Czech Republic and Sweden were used as an example We would have Spain though as we are grouped with Bilbao Each Group has two venues Group A: Rome (Italy) and Baku (Azerbaijan)
Group B: Saint Petersburg (Russia) and Copenhagen (Denmark) Group C: Amsterdam (Netherlands) and Bucharest (Romania) Group D: London (England) and Glasgow (Scotland) Group E: Bilbao (Spain) and Dublin (Republic of Ireland) Group F: Munich (Germany) and Budapest (Hungary) |

Ok yeah just tried to work out if there was any way 2 teams could both get at least 2 games and only 2 games at home but doesn't seem to be a combination of that. So yes think it's one team will get 2 at home but then the other will get 3 Edited by t_rAndy - 04 Dec 2018 at 2:38pm |

Do the below fixtures not give ourselves and Spain 2 home games each?

There seems to be no great clarity on it except we are guaranteed two home games and in the same group as Spain if we both qualify. But no where does it state that if we are drawn at home against Spain that we will have three home games and this is the confusing part, why make us travel to Bilbao to play when we play Spain in Dublin. So I recon if we draw Spain at home we will have three games in the Aviva.

That does work, theoretically. However, it does not work on the basis that games are held basically simultaneously, or within a day of one another, with one in each city. So, for example, you can't have Spain v Ireland *and* Sweden v Czech Republic in Bilbao, or Ireland v Czech Republic and Sweden v Spain in Dublin.

Eh, Ireland are in Dublin three times there? There is no way to make it work where: Spain are at home 2/3 but not 3/3 Ireland are at home 2/3 but not 3/3 Neither stadium is used twice for one pair of fixtures The maths simply do not work for that. Ever. It is always the case that one team plays three matches in one venue and the other three teams play two matches in the other venue and the third match in the first venue against the first team. Look at Euro 2012: Spain played all their matches in Gdansk and we played two in Poznan, one in Gdansk. Same as Italy, same as Croatia. If we had played Spain in Poznan and Italy and Croatia had played each other in Gdansk, then the other three teams would have played 2/3 in Gdansk and we'd have had three in Poznan. It simply can't work any other way where you have two stadiums, three match days and one game per matchday in each stadium.

if you read the UEFA draw on venues for euro 2020 it states that every host is guaranteed two home games but if you are drawn home against another host nation you could have three home games. So like I said Ireland would play Sweden Czech and Spain at home, Spain would play Sweden and Czech at home, that would be the mandate complete. what's the point of have Spain play against Czech in Dublin the same day Ireland play Sweden in Bolboa.

there are three group games scheduled so why can't Ireland play in all three of them?
