England’s path through Euro 2024 is now clearer after they topped Group C, despite a goalless draw with Slovenia. Gareth Southgate’s team will face Slovakia in the last 16 on Sunday in Gelsenkirchen, with kick-off at 5pm UK time. Slovakia advanced to the knockout stages as one of the four best third-placed teams.
England’s Next Opponent at Euro 2024
England will play Slovakia in the last 16 on Sunday in Gelsenkirchen at 5pm UK time. By winning Group C, England are now on what is considered the more favorable side of the draw, avoiding Spain, Germany, Portugal, France, and Belgium, who are on the opposite side.
Potential Quarter-Final Opponents
If England win their last-16 match against Slovakia, they would then face the winners of the Switzerland vs. Italy round-of-16 clash. This quarter-final match would take place in Berlin on Saturday, July 6, with a 5pm UK time kick-off. Should England progress further, their semi-final match would be on Wednesday, July 10, at 8pm UK time, against potential opponents such as Romania, Netherlands, Austria, or Turkey.
