During the ceremony, UEFA took into account several factors regarding individual participants - political, geographical and organizational.

Classification details

The so-called UNL VIP-basket included the winners of the Nations League A groups (this allowed the participants of the final four to be placed in groups of five national teams), the first basket — the next six teams ranked by the League of Nations (except for Germany, the hosts of Euro-2024). These 10 teams led the selection groups of Euro-2024.

The overall rating of the LN is calculated as follows: the winners of League A groups have numbers 1-4, the second teams - 5-8, the third - 9-12, the fourth - 13-16, the winners of League B groups - 17-20, etc. But let's pay attention: due to Germany and the disqualification of Russia, this order has moved precisely for the seeding of the Euro-2024 draw.

Thus, in this case, the national teams ranked from 12th to 21st entered the second basket, from 22nd to 31st - to the third, from 33rd to 42nd - to the fourth, from the 43rd to the 52nd to the fifth, and from the 53rd to the 55th to the sixth. 

The best among those who took identical places in the groups in the absent competition were determined by points, goal difference, number of goals scored, number of goals scored away from home, number of wins, number of away wins, Fair Play points, UEFA coefficient .
