Coefficients
8.04 The seeded teams are the host associations, with the reigning European
champions if they qualify, and one or two teams with the best coefficients
according to the UEFA national team coefficient ranking system (see Annex I,
paragraph 1.2.2). The other finalists are assigned to the four groups by means of a
draw, according to their coefficients.
8.05 If any of the teams in question have the same coefficient, the criteria listed in
paragraph 7.02 apply. Results from the play-offs referred to in paragraph 7.07 are
thereby not taken into consideration.

system (three points for a win, one point for a draw, no points for a defeat). The
group matches are played according to the following schedule. The last two
matches in each group must both kick off at the same time. The first-named team
is considered as the home team.
