Euro 2016 draw: Relive the drama from Paris with our live blog

Posted by

Caught Offside will be bringing you the Euro 2016 draw live from Paris on Saturday evening at 17H GMT.

For the first time ever, 24 teams are taking part in the continental championship, and the two-dozen sides are set to find out their first-round opponents on Saturday evening.

Following a gruelling qualifying campaign, all of the participating nations will be desperate to find out who they will be meeting at the summer showpiece in France in just over six months’ time.

There is particular interest in the draw in the British Isles, where home nations England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Ireland will all be present in the pots following successful qualifying campaigns.

With the tournament expanded, there is every chance of a ‘Group of Life’ for Roy Hodgson’s Three Lions, with a possible pool containing Slovakia, Albania and Switzerland (whom England beat in qualifying) a real prospect.

However, there’s also the chance that England could find themselves pooled with Italy, Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s Sweden, and Gareth Bale’s Wales…over to you Roy!
