UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying Group B

Last updated

The UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying Group B was one of the nine groups to decide which teams would qualify for the UEFA Euro 2016 finals tournament. [1] Group B consisted of six teams: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Belgium, Israel, Wales, Cyprus, and Andorra, [2] where they played against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format. [3]

Contents

The top two teams, Belgium and Wales, qualified directly for the finals. As third-placed Bosnia and Herzegovina weren't the highest-ranked among all third-placed teams, they advanced to the play-offs, where they lost to the Republic of Ireland and thus failed to qualify.
