Who plays at Euro 2024 today and when will the semi-finals be staged?

The start of Euro 2024 on 14 June as Germany beat Scotland in Munich seems so long ago and now, 48 games later just four national sides remain in the competition.

Friday and Saturday saw the conclusion of the quarterfinals with Spain, France, England and Netherlands advancing at the expense of Germany, Portugal, Switzerland and Turkey with the semifinals scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday next.

There was plenty of drama in all four games with Luis de la Fuente’s side breaking German hearts with a last minute goal from Mikel Merino in extra time ending the hosts’ participation at the tournament. France advanced at the expense of a Portugal side who insisted in fielding an out of form Cristiano Ronaldo and were eliminated on a shoot-out after 120 minutes of tepid action failed to produce a winner. England have failed to sparkle at the tournament but have secured a semi-final berth after beating Switzerland on penalties and in Saturday’s late game, the Netherlands came from behind to end the Turkish Euro 2024 dream at a packed Olympic Stadium in Berlin.

Two rest days

The tournament takes a two day breather now before the decisive semi finals resume again next Tuesday with Munich the setting for the France vs Spain clash (kick-off at 3pm ET) before the focus turns to Dortmund on Wednesday as England face the Netherlands with kick-off at the same time.

The Euro 2024 final will be played on Sunday 14 July at Olympiastadion in Berlin (kick-off 3pm ET), which has staged five games already in the competition and previously hosted the 2006 World Cup final between Italy and France, and the 2015 Champions League final between Barcelona and Juventus.
