Georgia qualified for Euro 2024, which it will play for the first time, by beating Greece on penalties on Tuesday (0-0, 4 tab to 2) in the play-off.

The Caucasians will be the little Thumbs of Group F, with Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal, Turkey and the Czech Republic. Greece, unexpected European champion in 2004, once again misses the mark.
