Group F of UEFA Euro 2020 took place from 15 to 23 June 2021 in Budapest's Puskás Aréna and Munich's Allianz Arena.[1] The group contained host nations Hungary and Germany, defending champions Portugal and world champions France.
That combination of teams led to the group being referred to as a "group of death".[2] [3] Despite Hungary being considered the weakest of the four, they kept a clean sheet for 84 minutes of their match against Portugal before losing 3–0, and led against France and twice against Germany before those matches finished as draws.[4]
