Football: GB Men confirmed as ineligible for games

Football’s Men’s European qualifier takes place in Romania and Georgia but Great Britain are not allowed to make the games.

Even though in Women’s Football, England’s results are allowed to count for Great Britain, and this is the case for other team sports such as Hockey and Curling in which different home nations compete, this is not the case in Men’s Football.

The UEFA Euro U-21 has four groups of four, with England in Group C in Georgia alongside the Czech Republic, Germany, and Israel. This came after a qualifying process in which England topped a group containing the Czech Republic, Slovenia, Kosovo, Albania, and Andorra. Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland all failed to qualify. Apart from hosts France and England, the top three teams will qualify for Paris. This means GB cannot enter the Men’s Football as this is the sole qualifer for European teams.
