UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying Group I

Group I 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 scheduled for June and July 2024. Group I consisted of six teams: Andorra, Belarus, Israel, Kosovo, Romania and Switzerland. The teams played against each other home and away in a round-robin format.[1]
