The UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying Group C was one of the nine groups to decide which teams would qualify for the UEFA Euro 2016 finals tournament.[1] Group C consisted of six teams: Spain , Ukraine , Slovakia , Belarus , Macedonia , and Luxembourg ,[2] where they played against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format .[3]
Originally Gibraltar had been drawn in this group, but were moved to group D due to Spain not being willing to play them because of the disputed status of Gibraltar .[4]
The top two teams, Spain and Slovakia, qualified directly for the finals. As third-placed Ukraine weren't the highest-ranked among all third-placed teams , they advanced to the play-offs, where they won against Slovenia and thus qualified as well.
