UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying Group B

Group B of UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying was one of the ten groups to decide which teams would qualify for the UEFA Euro 2024 final tournament in Germany. Group B consisted of five teams: France, Gibraltar, Greece, the Netherlands and the Republic of Ireland. The teams played against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format. ^[1]
