Euro 2008 may be more than 2-1/2 years away but the focus will briefly switch away from this year's World Cup when the qualifying matchups of the European Championship heat up this year.

50 European nations were drawn into seven groups with the top two in each going through to join co-hosts Austria and Switzerland in the finals in June 2008.

There will be six groups of seven teams and one group of eight teams with no playoffs at the end of the qualifying matches, which begin later this year.

Greece, who surprisingly won the European title in Portugal in 2004 yet failed to even qualify for this year's World Cup, are among seven top seeds along with the Netherlands, Portugal, England, Czech Republic, France and Sweden.
