Although all the finalists have yet to be determined, with play-off qualifiers still to be played tonight, UEFA has on Tuesday announced the draw pots ahead of the Euro 2016 draw on 12 December…

Croatia have been pooled in the second strongest group, meaning they will avoid Russia, Switzerland, Austria, Italy and Ukraine or Czech Republic at Euro 2016 in France next summer.
