UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying Group D

Group D of the UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying tournament was one of the nine groups to decide which teams would qualify for the UEFA Euro 2016 finals tournament.[1] Group D consisted of six teams: Germany, Republic of Ireland, Poland, Scotland, Georgia, and Gibraltar,[2] where they played against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format.[3]

Background

Because of an expansion in the European Championship finals format to 24 teams competing in the final, the top two qualifiers in the group automatically qualified for UEFA Euro 2016. The third-placed team would either qualify directly if it was the highest-placed third-placed team amongst the qualifying groups, otherwise it would enter the playoffs for the remaining four spots.[4]

The German national football team was looking to maintain its record of qualifying for every European Championship since 1972.[5][6] Scotland and the Republic of Ireland both proposed the expansion of the European Championship and it was considered "ironic" by the Republic of Ireland manager, Martin O'Neill, that the two were drawn in the same group.[6] The chairman of the Polish Football Association, Zbigniew Boniek, stated that he was happy with the draw.[7] Georgia national football team manager, Temur Ketsbaia, said that the new system would give Georgia the chance to qualify and said that Georgia would aim for third place in the group.[8]

The Gibraltar national football team competed in European Championship qualifying for the first time after becoming members of UEFA in May 2013. Gibraltar play their home matches at Estádio Algarve in Faro, Algarve, Portugal, as their home ground, Victoria Stadium, has an artificial pitch and does not meet UEFA international standards.[9] They were initially drawn in UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying Group C, but with Spain—who claims the territory—already in that group, UEFA moved Gibraltar to Group D.[10]
