There will be no third-place play-off in Euro 2024 after UEFA scrapped it.
This tradition is upheld in competitions such as the World Cup, the Copa America and the Africa Cup of Nations. However, Euro 2024 will not feature a third-place play-off, with France and the Netherlands have to depart immediately following their semi-final
The third-place playoff is often considered the game no one wants to be a part of, with all players, coaches, and fans preferring to be at the final. Although winning does come with a bronze medal, there is not much else to gain.
This year’s losing semi-finalists will be spared the contest in Germany. UEFA initially abolished the third-place playoff after the 1980 tournament due to declining television ratings and attendance.
On Tuesday night, Spain secured a spot in the final with a thrilling 2-1 victory over France. As a result, Les Bleus have concluded their participation in the tournament.
The other semi-final featured England against the Netherlands, with the eventual winner England set to face Spain in Sunday’s final.
The third-place match has not been a part of the Euros since 1980, when Czechoslovakia defeated hosts Italy 9-8 on penalties following a 1-1 draw.
