Wales, Norway and Finland were among the final nations to book their place at Euro 2025 this week, with the last 16 decided.
The remaining seven legs of the play-off took place on Tuesday night.
History was made at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin, but not for the home Republic of Ireland team. Wales earned their place on the plane to Switzerland next year after securing a 2-1 win, the first time they have qualified for a major tournament.
Norway’s 3-0 win over Northern Ireland also secured their place after an emphatic 4-0 first-leg win, along with Finland beating Scotland 2-0 on aggregate, making dashed Scottish hopes of ending a seven-year absence from this stage.
