The competition regulations dictate that if a team is disqualified from Euro 2016, the results of all their matches are declared “null and void” and all points awarded forfeited.

What Uefa’s rules fail to account for is the knock-on effect that would have for qualification for the new last-16 round, which was introduced following the expansion of the Euros to 24 teams.

The regulations dictate that as well as the six group winners and runners-up advancing to the knockout stage, the four “best” third-placed teams also make it through.
