The venues, cities and dates of every Euro 2016 group explained ahead of draw

The Euro 2016 draw is nearly upon us. The venues and dates of the matches are already known, the teams just have to be drawn.

Looking at the venues, France’s group is the most convenient from a travel point of view and will allow fans to base themselves in or around Paris.

However groups C, E and F feature matches on the Mediterranean coast, in Nice or Marseille, and will also be popular with sun-seeking supporters.
