Euro 2016 Draw: Winners and Losers from Paris Event

The draw for the 2016 UEFA European Championship took place on Saturday afternoon, sorting the 24 qualified nations into six different groups.

While some would simply have been looking to be involved at all after the expanded format made room for a few teams who wouldn't habitually qualify, now that the tournament is drawing closer, everybody involved wanted a favourable draw to actually have hopes of progressing.

After assessing each group in turn we have selected our biggest winners and losers, looking at who will be particularly happy—or displeased—with their fortunes for the group stage next summer.
