UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying Group F

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by GAV80 (talk | contribs) at 20:54, 28 June 2016 (→‎top: Group F.). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

The UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying Group F was one of the nine groups to decide which teams would qualify for the UEFA Euro 2016 finals tournament.[1] Group F consisted of six teams: Greece, Hungary, Romania, Finland, Northern Ireland, and Faroe Islands,[2] where they played against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format.[3]

The top two teams would qualify directly for the finals. The third-placed team would qualify directly too if they had the best records among the third-placed teams of all qualifying groups, otherwise they would enter the play-offs for another chance to qualify.

Northern Ireland and Romania qualified for the finals as the group winners and runners-up respectively. As third-placed Hungary weren't the highest-ranked among all third-placed teams, they advanced to the play-offs, where they won against Norway and thus qualified too.
