The first ten UEFA eEuro 2020 finalists for the first-ever virtual European Championship on Pro Evolution Soccer. Along with Italy, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Greece, Israel, Luxembourg, Romania and Serbia have all secured qualification for the final phase. This comes at the end of the group stage in March, which saw all 55 UEFA member associations involved, with the winners of each of the ten groups qualifying directly for the final phase of the continental tournament which will be played online (live on UEFA's YouTube channel) on 23 and 24 May.

Second place in each group will face off in play-offs on 20 and 27 April to fight for the final six spots. Austria, Croatia, Denmark, Finland, Israel, Kazakhstan, Montenegro, Portugal, Spain and Turkey will all compete in the play-offs, with the ten nations being drawn into two new groups of five and the top three of each group progressing through to the finals.

There’s no need to worry for the TIMVISION PES eNazionale, who passed their first test with flying colours as they topped their group. The Azzurri finished first in Group H after eight wins, one draw and one defeat in their second clash with Montenegro, their only blip in a super group stage that flaunted the great potential of the team of Rosario ‘Npk_02’ Accurso, Nicola ‘nicaldan’ Lillo, Carmine ‘Naples17x’ Liuzzi and Alfonso ‘AlonsoGrayfox’ Mereu.
